The recommendation

Glass for anything that goes in the fridge or the microwave — it does not stain, hold curry smell, or absorb turmeric. Jars and canisters for the dry shelf, where weight and cost matter more than reheating. Buying glass for your atta is money spent on a property you will never use.

Common questions

Is glass storage safe in the microwave?

Borosilicate glass is; check the base for a microwave-safe mark, and never move a container straight from fridge to microwave without letting it warm slightly.

What keeps atta fresh longest?

An airtight seal matters more than the material. A well-sealed canister on a cool dark shelf beats an unsealed glass jar.
