There are plenty of reasons why mason jars make the perfect lunch container–here are the top ten:

1. They’re inexpensive. A set of two pint-sized (16-ounce) mason jars can be purchased for under 10 dollars.

2. They’re readily available. You can find canning jars at supermarkets, kitchenware stores, discount stores, or online. You can even find vintage jars at flea markets and antique stores.

3. They’re easy to clean. Glass does not stain or retain flavors or odors, and it’s dishwasher safe!

4. They’re safe. People who are worried about storing food in plastic can rest easy with mason jars. Glass is an inert substance, so it will not leach chemicals into food, even when heated.

5. They’re environmentally friendly. Unless it breaks, a glass jar can be used for ages without deteriorating. And when you’re finished with it, it can be recycled easily. In fact, glass can be recycled an infinite number of times without losing its quality.
