The art of using glass jars and containers in everyday life

Whether it's for storing your bulk purchases, limiting the use of disposable packaging in a zero-waste approach, or simply harmonizing your kitchen's decor, using glass jars or glass containers is always an excellent idea.

What to store in your glass jars?

Glass jars for your bulk foods and long-lasting freshness

Tired of single-use packaging piling up in your bins every time you come back from shopping? Want to do something for the planet while taking care of your health? Reusable glass jars are a simple, healthy, and sustainable way to achieve this.

Today, jars rightfully find their place in most households and have become essential containers for bulk shopping. By eliminating air exposure, they help extend the freshness of food and keep pests (like pantry moths) at bay. Dry goods can thus be stored very conveniently:

Starches and legumes: pasta, rice, lentils, quinoa, chickpeas.
Basic ingredients: flour, sugar, chocolate chips, cornstarch.
Groceries and condiments: spices, herbs, salt, coffee beans.
Treats and breakfasts: candies, cookies,
cereals, nuts.

Choosing the right jar size
Regarding jar sizes, plan for different capacities in your cupboards to adapt to each type of product: small sizes of 28 cl and 50 cl, but also containers of 1 L, 1.5 L, and even 2 L for the largest ones.

How to store a cut avocado?

Eating an avocado is a real pleasure, but keeping it from turning brown is a real challenge! To avoid food waste and preserve all its freshness, Luminarc's Keep’N Box range of glass containers is your best ally. Discover our simple tips for storing your avocados in the refrigerator or freezer.

1. The onion trick to prevent oxidation

Place your avocado half in a Keep’N Box container with a piece of onion, then close the airtight lid. The sulfur compounds in the onion act as a natural preservative and prevent the avocado from browning for several days, without altering its taste.

2. The protective oil trick

Brush the bottom of your Keep’N Box with a drizzle of oil (olive or sunflower) and place the avocado cut-side down. The oil creates a natural anti-oxygen barrier that preserves its green color and creamy texture.

Can avocado be frozen?

Yes, avocado freezes very well! Remove the skin and pit, then place the flesh (whole or mashed with a squeeze of lemon juice) in a freezer-safe Keep’N Box. This is the ideal trick to prepare for your next guacamoles or smoothies!
