much better to use even plastic boxes meant for storing food, or even ziplock bags. there are plenty glass containers too.
metal clips with the neodynium magnets, even is safer.
A few years ago my octogenarian mom became incapable of sealing ziplock bags. It drove me insane because I would repeatedly go to open something like chips or crackers that I had put in ziplocks only to find the seal partly open and the contents stale. I got in the habit of just going through everything in the pantry every couple of hours and resealing all the bags. I thought this was age-related until we hired a mid-20s home helper for her and the helper had the same problem. I don’t know what it is – ziplock bags aren’t that hard to use properly.
Ziplocks are not all that secure. I had like a huge amount of aspen oyster mushrooms in ziplocks, here in the upper midwest, and they molded, even though they were dry. Same with other stuff. The humidity just seeps in somehow.
There has to be something to add to soak up moisture like the corporos do with that silica bullshit.
