Should you refrigerate paprika?

All types of paprika should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark spot, either in a spice drawer or the refrigerator. Light and heat will adversely affect the spice, so keeping it in a tin instead of a glass jar will help maintain freshness.

Can you freeze ground paprika?

You can also freeze paprika. You can transfer a small amount of paprika into a smaller spice jar and keep it in your kitchen cabinet for easy reach. The freezer and the refrigerator won't extend the shelf life of paprika as it simply doesn't get any longer. Ground paprika can last almost forever anyway.
