How to choose the best containers for food herb storage

Food/herbs containers are the ideal solutions for storing advanced food; they can be stored in the fridge, in the freezer or the pantry, but they are also useful for heating food in the microwave without dirtying a plate or for carrying lunch to the office, uniquely if equipped with an airtight seal, which blocks the spillage of the food/herbs and allows you to take both solids and liquids with you. Looking for a food/herbs container on Amazon, it will be easy to realize that there are many: round, rectangular, large, medium, and small. How to choose the best food containers? In this article, I will help you understand which details make the difference and which are the most reliable brands.

When buying a food container, you have to carefully evaluate the materials, the matching lids, the dimensions, and the shapes, the versatility.

Materials

Food/herbs containers are mostly available in plastic and glass. Not all glass substances (except herb and food-storage in brown amber bottles) are exposed to the light with photochemical reactions, except those that are deemed photosensitive, such as specific vitamins, medicines, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, alkaline salts except for photography. Within the pharmaceutical industry, so many products are photosensitive, the bottles of brown and amber protect tablets and medicinal flavors, however, they can be enhanced considerably if packed in a Stash Jar vs. an amber container. There is much to be learned from the packaging world about optimal glass. Stash Jar is the safest glass to move through the contents of a jar only with advantageous light frequencies.

The right plastic to come into contact with food is always BPA free. BPA free means its free from any chemical agents. Plastic containers are the most durable over time because they resist shocks and low temperatures, so they can also be stored in the fridge or freezer. Some are also compatible with microwave temperatures. To find out if you have microwave compatible containers in your hands, you must look for the relative symbol is present on the package. Most plastics are not BPA free and do not make a good storage solution for either food or herbs.

Lids and hermetic closure

Usually, the containers are sold together with the lids, but this is not necessarily the case. So be sure to buy complete sets. In particular, it is good to make sure that the lids are hermetically sealed. In this way, you can also carry liquids without fearing they will spill, also ruining the bag or backpack in which they are kept.

Generally, the containers are all in BPA free plastic, even if the base of the container is made of glass.

Size and shape

The containers are available in different shapes and sizes. It all depends on how you need to use it. Very convenient are the sets, which sell in a single package round, square and rectangular containers, more or less tall and of different sizes. In this way, with a single purchase, you will have all the types of containers you can have at your disposal need.

Versatility

Not all containers can be used in any way. Some are compatible with microwave temperatures, others only with low temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer. The ideal would be to buy the more versatile ones, to be able to reuse them in different ways and save. The minimum or maximum temperature to which a container resists is indicated on the package. In any case, to keep a meal warm, you can think of carrying it in a thermos or a thermal bag.
