Some years ago it was all the rage to store dry foods in tall glass canisters - pasta, rice, beans, etc. I used to do it but over time got away from it and now I'm wondering if I should keep these containers and use them, or donate. What I'm wondering is if food will go stale faster if it's taken out of it's packaging and put into clear containers. The containers would be kept inside the pantry so would not be exposed to light.
I have about 6 of them - 3 with wooden lids, 2 with metal ones, and a few with handles for easy pouring (with plastic lids that turn and seal).
Not sure if this should go in the products or food section....
