Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I noticed that there was a conversation about herb jars on a post. I've been going to the deli at my local Safeway and getting the large gallon pickle jars they're finished with periodically. They are great for making tinctures or storing herbs. I'm sure you can also try any other local deli or small restaurant and they would be glad to help you out. Peace, Waymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Please don't use the plastic ones though :-) I do this all the time, I often need glass jars for storage and such. Supermarkets and delis are a terrific source. Look for places that serve artichoke hearts - although lots of places now pack pickles in plastic (say THAT 3 times fast!) artichoke hearts are still mostly in glass. Thrift stores are also a great source for pint, quart and half-gallon sized jars. I often find them at the local Salvation Army store for $2 per dozen jars, regardless of size. You don't necessarily get lids with them, but canning lids are about $1.25 per dozen. I store most of my bulk herbs in glass jars, so finding a deal on them is a happy day :-) herbal remedies , Waymon Cowley <goldenirides> wrote: > > I noticed that there was a conversation about herb jars on a post.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Thats a great idea, but you also want to remember to wash it real well in order to get anything that may have 'stained' the inside of the jar i.e. the dill smell. The smell is usually remnants of whats left behind from its previous use imbeded in the glass itself. If the smell isnt cleared out, it can lessen the effects of some herbs that may be stored in it.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi Deana, Plastic is a petroleum based product, which you want to minimize as much as possible. Depending on the type of plastic there are problems with "off gassing" where you will get chemicals coming off the plastic into whatever you have in it. Glass is best.
