Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Does " c/s " mean crushed? and is there anything wrong with buying herbs from a health food store or a shop that specializes in herbs? > herbal remedies , " Mary Ostrowski " > <Odesign1@e...> wrote: > > Eibhlin.....I go for C/S when possible .

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 c/s means cut and sifted. I do buy some herbs from my health food store and they are good but they do not have a big choice of herbs at least not the ones I need.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 you know that is true Debbie, I didn't think of that.. maybe I'll first look for glass jars before using the plastic containers. I wish I could find some big glass jar's for a good cheap price.. I read something not long ago on I think Dr. Clarks site that we shouldn't even use plastic container to put left over food in or that that matter any food in because of something in the plastic getting into our food that is toxic. herbal remedies , " devorah91 " <devorah888@s...> wrote: > > > Should there be any concern about using plastic to store herbs in?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I like to re-use my glass ware. That is, instead of throwing away used mayo jars, relish, pickle, ANYthing that comes in a glass container - even kitchen herbs like oregano and parsley, etc - I'll wash that glass ware and use it for herb storage instead of chucking it. --- tempo33x <tempo33x wrote: > > > I store my herbs in 'Sterlite' 4-1/2 Qt. plastic rectangular > containers from Walmart, -very cheap. > > > > > -- In herbal remedies , " Eibhlin " <eibhlinyah> > wrote: > > > > > > Thanks..

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 > The Dollar General in our area South MS sells 1/2 gallon glass jars for a $1.00. I use them for goat milk juices food storage etc.They are great they have diffrent sizes but that is the biggest. I also use Qt canning jars for herbs with the plastic lids. You buy them separatly. Both these things have plastic lids but if you dont pack the jar to the lid the herb or food dont touch the pasltic.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 you really don't want to store anything in plastic containers. preferably you can store your herbs in dark glass containers, the next preferable is to store them in brown paper bags,not plastic. herbs do not like plastic Bonnie Rogers I store my herbs in 'Sterlite' 4-1/2 Qt. plastic rectangular containers from Walmart, -very cheap.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Antique shops also have the old ball canning jars some cheap and some not depending on shop etc. I get my Ball jars (quart size) from WalMart. 12 jars with lids for about 8 bucks. They aren't the ones with the hinges on the side, but they work fine. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I love those half gallon glass jars from Dollar General. So far, I've only used them in the kitchen. They hold cornmeal, sugar, rice etc in the house. I'd be out a fortune if I bought jars for Green Dragon though. There are Jars and jars and jars of stuff! No, not all in gallon jars, I too reuse mayonaise and other jars.... Judy Green Dragon Herbals Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I Store my herbs in the tall canning jars. You can buy a case fairly inexpensively at just about anywhere. Things like total nutrition though, i keep in plastic because i needed a big container and it is not in the container very long, but i made sure to buy a food grade container (restaurant supply house). I also put mixes or formulas into plastic containers temporarily until i can encapsulate them. For long term storage though i always opt for glass. You might also consider recycling jars from other food for herb storage (we use those for storing bulk foods when we bring them home from the store).

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi Everyone, today I bought some jars.. I went to Ace hardware and they had all kinds of Canning jars, screw tops ones and also those that have the old fashion tops with the rubber and hing. I bought the 1/2 gallon size with Screw top for $8.99 for 6 jars and also bought the plastic screw on caps to use on them.. I really wanted the old fashion kind but they were $14.99 for just one Gallon size jar.. that was just too much to pay.. They even had them in 2 and 4 gallon size.. I bet those cost a pretty penny.. Anyways, I think that I paid a good price for them and will be happy with um.. I like all the idea's that have been posted on all the other foods We can store with these jars and now my wheels are just a turning in My head on just what I can use them for. Every friday around here there are yard sales everywhere but I never go and now I think I'll do some yard sale hopping to see just what kind of jar's I can find.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 As crazy as it sounds, try a local pizza place. I bought gallon sizes glass jars for our scout troop. They only charged me .50 each for them. That is what they get their olive and hot pepper rings in.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I have been looking for other places to buy canning jars because i now refuse to SHOP WALMART ever again. I totally understand how you feel. Canning jars are about all I ever buy there anymore. I'll drive out of my way to shop somewhere else. I'm sure K-Mart has canning jars.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Awesome Info thanks! I have been looking for other places to buy canning jars because i now refuse to SHOP WALMART ever again. Pier 1 and Cost Plus have the canning jars with the hinged lid, but I've been using the Bell canning jars more lately since they are more econimical and i want to standarize our storage. I know you can get them at some grocery stores or Target or K-mart - i just like to keep my eyes open for other sources so i can watch for sales Sylvia herbal remedies , " Eibhlin " <eibhlinyah> wrote: > > > Hi Everyone, today I bought some jars..

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 WALMART is now on my " death List " I think they are contributing to the degredation of mankind all most as much as the govt and the medicos/pharmies. Anyway, i will check out K-Mart and Ace soon since i will be needing some more jars when i order herbs again ) thanks Sylvia herbal remedies , MorningGlory113@a... wrote: > I have been looking for other places to buy > canning jars because i now refuse to SHOP WALMART ever again. > > I totally understand how you feel.
