Cooking it (bringing it to the correct temperature even) would save you the eventual risk of having to toss out a batch because it spoiled in the freezer. Yes, things only have a few months shelf life in a properly set up freezer.

Pre-ground is generally a bad choice for any spice as unless it is ground to order and used in an equally brief timeframe you will lose much of the flavor.

The key is "Was", harvest time for me is roughly mid October, there isn't much to show since they are more or less hedges...
