Does ground thyme go bad

Ground thyme, like other dried herbs and spices, doesn't spoil in the traditional sense but can lose its potency and flavor over time. Typically, it remains at its best for 1-3 years if stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. While it may not be harmful to consume after this period, it may not provide the desired taste in your dishes. Always check for any off smells or changes in color before using.
