What are the best spice jars?

The best spice jars are airtight and made of glass, immediately allowing you to identify what’s stored inside each of them.

For a decorative effect, you should choose some unique spice jars that stand out in your kitchen.

For example, they could be shaped like lightbulbs, potion bottles, have lids in different colors, or whatever resonates with your personal preference and décor style.

What size spice jars should I get?

When considering the size of spice jars you need, the amount and types of spices you are storing play a significant role in your decision.

Smaller spice bottles are recommended for denser and heavier spices such as salt. High volume spices such as dried oregano will require larger spice bottles.

As a general rule of thumb, 1/2 cup spice jar sizes are the benchmark for a variety of everyday spices and hold approximately 198 grams of dense spices and 11 grams of high volume spices. When storing ground spices such as cumin and cinnamon, these same-sized spice jars will hold anywhere between 60 to 65 grams of these types of spices.

What types of spices are best stored in spice jars?

While spices are probably the longest-lasting ingredients that you can possibly have in your kitchen, that doesn't mean that you don't need to take care when storing them. In fact, storing your most frequently used spices in unique spice jars is a great way to increase their flavor and longevity.

When it comes to spices that need to be stored in spice jars, these are probably your dry herbs and spices that lose their flavor or potency quickly.

Spices such as salt, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, minced onion, as well as ground cinnamon powder, paprika, and dried thyme are all spices that need to be stored in airtight spice jars. This will ultimately ensure their potency and longevity over the months.
