FÖRVAR Jar with lid, glass/aluminium-colour, 61 oz (1.8 l)

Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.

Glass doesn't absorb food flavors, colors or odors. For instance, you can use the same glass jar first for onions then for raspberries, and the raspberries won't taste like onion, as long as you wash the jar between foods. And unlike plastic, glass doesn't stain. Not even from tomato sauce or blueberries. That's what you call a clear advantage.
