Made from deep violet glass, the jars featured in this week’s Infinity Jars Giveaway can help preserve color and flavor!
I spent most of my time extolling the virtues of mason jars, but truly, my jar love knows no bounds. I appreciate the beauty of old apothecary jars, and have a weird fascination with large vintage peanut butter jars. Most recently, the deep violet jars sold by Infinity Jars have been the objects of my interest and fascination.
Made from specially pigmented glass that renders the jars nearly black (you’ll find that they’re actually a deep purple-y blue), they are smell-proof, block harmful UV light, and are thicker than your run-of-the-mill jam jar.
They are designed to help extend the lifespan of foods, salves, and other ointments that are sensitive to light. I’ve found that they do a really nice jar preserving the color and flavor of dehydrated foods, which often lose their vibrancy after a few months on the shelf.
The jars you see pictured here are from the Screw Top Variety Gift Pack and the sizes range from 50ml to 1L. I have my hibiscus flowers tucked into the largest jar to stop their light-related color loss.
This week, I have one of these jar gift packs to give away to a lucky Food in Jars reader. Use the widget below to enter the Infinity Jars Giveaway.
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. Infinity Jars compensated me in exchange for my time and consideration. Additionally, they sent me the jars you see pictured here for photography purposes. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own.
Dried fruit. Tea & coffee beans. Various flavored sugars. Rice varieties.
Dried fruits, herbs, flowers…… But they would also be lovely to use as small cannisters for dry goods.
I would use these for spices and baking ingredients storage.
I would store all manner of dry foods in them but 3 of them would also look stunning with flowers from
the garden in them on the dinning room table!
Those jars are beautiful and I wouldn’t even hesitate to leave them on the countertop, they are so decorative! I especially love the olive oil dispensers!
SO many uses come to mind!! Love the idea of dried herbs or ground coffee though.
Probably tea and coffee for now…
I’d store teas and special coffees!
I would use these beautiful jars to store my baking supplies (all the sort of flours)!!!
I would use them to store loose leaf tea, which is not very organized right now!
Those are gorgeous. It’d be nice to have a decent space for my vanilla beans.
I would store dehydrated food, herbs and salves.
Beautiful! These look great for storing teas or spices.
I’d store herbs/spices
These jars are gorgeous! Great for storing dried herbs and spices and also tea!
Gorgeous jars! I would definitely use them for herbs and tea.
So sleek…I would probably store my massive tea collection in them
I would use them for the dried foods and herbs I am experimenting with now with my new dehydrator. Perfect timing. They look so stylish and are so practical.
Wow these are beautiful! I’d store herbs and probably tea and maybe even some lentils/rice.
Teas for sure. I love different teas. Then I would move on to my spice. I love collecting them from all over.
I would store teas and other dry goods.
My kitchen runneth over with loose leaf teas and bulk real cinnamon and bulk vanilla beans, I think I DEFINITELY could use those Infinity jars to store them in! They are absolutely gorgeous! I think I’m in love. Thank you for the giveaway! 🙂
Maple sugar 🙂
Just gorgeous. I had never seen these before now. My precious teas. 🙂
Beautiful! Great for herbs and spices.
I would store tea in them
These jars are beautiful. I would use them to store dried fruit and herbs (just got a new dehydrator- yeah!)
Herbs come to mind first, but dried fruits would probably be even better.
I’m honestly not sure what I’ll put in these beautiful jars!
Dried apples and other fruit…I am going to try drying pears this year and they would be great for storing them…thanks!
Definitely tea… I have an extensive collection of loose tea and currently use double seal metal containers. These would be great for storage of some of our high end varieties.
I think my sun dried tomatoes!
I’d store anything! Tea, coffee, herbs.
Ooooo, those look super neat! These would be so useful for so many things.
I’m using more Indian spices so I think some of those that aren’t used too often would benefit from being in these jars. They are very cool!
I would sort teas and dried herbs.
Likely dried fruit. But I am thinking that bath salts would be great in them and look awesome in my main bath.
Tea! I’m starting to investigate making my own blends from my herb garden and would love a fancy container to keep them in/preserve the flavor
I’d totally store some nuts in there. I feel like clear glass can sometimes taint the nuts.
Those jars look really cool. Not sure exactly what I’d store in them but I know I’d figure it out and display them.
I try to keep some precious ingredients tucked in the back of the cupboards where the light won’t hit the mason jars so much. Turns out, maybe the answer is pretty dark purple jars!
I thought they were stainless steel when I first looked. Hmm. Dried fruits and veggies definitely.
teas, herbs and spices!
My favorite color…deep, dark purple! I would make my own face lotion and keep it in there. I would store the wonderful organic olive oil I have gotten from Chaffin Orchards in it. And herbs and spices. I’m sure I could come up with lots of other uses just to have them hanging around in my kitchen to look at!
Dried beans and herbs from my garden.
I would use them to store dehydrated food, for sure! Maybe apricot fruit leather rolls!
I would store my snacks in these jars
I would use these for everything.
I think I would put flowers in them first. How pretty!
coffee
Just moved into a new house and these would be great for fresh dried herbs, coffee, teas, so many things!
Baking supplies and spices.
Man, what a great idea!!! This would be great to store my dehydrated veggies which fade even though I keep them in a dark cupboard!!! And my floral tea. And , and, and. I love them!!!
counter top supplies would be great un these
Very cool jars. I like the idea of storing dehydrated food in them.
very cool!
Dried herbs & tea
At this point, probably tea.
I think I’d store flowe petals and tea in the jars. They are very cool! Thanks for the great give-way.
Coffee, tea, homemade toothpaste.
Dried Chilies! Especially thai bird eye chilies, which seem to lose color quickly.
I would probably put my various teas in those jars. Or I might just look at them lovingly.
All kind of dry goods.
So beautiful! I would store my dehydrated fruits.
Open coffee and tea!
I dry a lot of herbs from the garden and plants from wild forage. Definitely would use these for the dried herbs, spices, and herbal teas — all those plants with strong essential oils that fade so quickly in light. Might keep the flavour and colour in the dried spruce tips tea last more than one month.
Perfect for my special bulk spices!
I would sort my home-grown herbs and wild dried leaves. Wow, the jars a beautiful.
My dehydrated garlic salt would go in to these jars
These would be great for storing lose-leaf tea!
Tea is the first thing that comes to mind, but perhaps my homemade vanilla extract or dried herbs as well. They are gorgeous!
Oh these are so pretty! I would use the smaller ones to sort hair bobbles and such in the bathroom and the larger ones in the kitchen for coffee, sugar and cocoa
Look like lovely jars…..lots of possible uses.
Big ones would be really handy for my dehydrated lemons. I keep a jar of them on my desk at work and having something darker might have them hold up a bit longer.
Such beautiful jars, perfect for my tea leaves!
I love the idea of them for ointments, so the small and medium sizes. Well all sizes there is much I could do with them.
These look very interesting.
These look great. Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m not sure what I’d store in them, but boy are they beautiful!
Sometimes I need to really look at something for a good length of time before I know what I am going to do with it. These fall into that category. I am not sure what I would store in them. Something I could keep on the counter to show off. If i won them I would have time to figure it out.
I would love to store teas in these jars – so beautiful yet so functional!
flavored salts, teas, coffee. So pretty!
I’m thinking they would be wonderful for herbs and spices! I like the idea of storing ointments in them as well.
I would store teas in these, or my homemade scrub, body butter, & mask. Or all of the above.
I would love to use these jars for all of my fresh ground herbs and spices from my garden!
These are lovely looking. I’d use them for teas, spices, and other goodies.
I only just learned of these jars. They are wonderful and would be so nice for giving homemade herbal gifts in.
I’d store loose leaf tea and herbs in them.
I do a lot of DIY cosmetics, essential oil products, etc and three would be great for that. I have also dried fruit and herbs and such so these would be useful that that also!
I’ve got like 14 kinds of tea that could use some better sorting!
I would store my tea collection in them. Thanks for the chance to win these jars!
Dried herbs and spices, flavoured salts and sugars, nuts and seeds! So many ideas for these beautiful jars
I would store tea and the herbs (calendula and mint) that I’ve been growing/drying.
Love this!! Light and air damage is so frustrating. These seem like a great solution!
These would be good for tea and dried herbs. and they are pretty!
You have the best giveaways! I dehydrated tons of apricots that would get first dibs. And chilies. I also have lots of dried chilies.
Anything and everything, they are so beautiful!
These would be perfect for storing all my different teas- right now they’re in various jars and bags of different sizes. These would be much prettier!
I think it would be fantastic to have these beautiful jars to store my dried herbs.
Dried chili peppers!
