Sometimes I reuse the bottles. But how well do the seal ? For one, glass with a metal lid is probably top of the list.
So anyway then you got the plastic ones. The type they had for a while had a normal lid and a thing with holes under it. Take lid off then the hole thing and you can stick a spoon in there.
But when you screw that lid down it i pretty sealed.
Not so with the new ones. They just got the lid and it has a door or two for sift or whatever. The holes are right in it.
Well those flip top doors do not seal all that well, sometimes you can see they are not even all the way down.
I have some spices for years, and I know they have reduced potency, but if they weren't in good sealed containers they lose the potency alot faster.
It makes a difference in how long the spices last.
