Storage for herbs etc

[itsybitsy]

I've just ordered a load of dried herbs, spices and the like. Am wondering what's the best type of receptacle in which to store them. I picked up several airtight plastic storage containers in Sainsbury when they were reduced to almost nothing, but I only got three.

Kilner? Clip top? Any thoughts?

Depends on how much you have Itsy but airtight is the way ahead. We have 'ready use' herbs in a twirly rack thing but have a big tupaware type box full of the backup supplies. How big do the containers need to be ????

Weeeeeeeeeeellll....I bought 400g of some, which takes up a surprisingly large amount of space! More than I'd anticipated!

Kilners (or similar) might be the job there then, anything airtight though so if you have some tupaware doing hee haw then that'll work too. I assume you'll be decanting some for day to day use though.

Yes. So need big containers for the storage.

Personally I use those small ziplock mylar bags for such things
