We like to use plastic bins designed for drinking water to store grains and other dried goods, like legumes and rice. Food-grade plastics are identifiable by the recycling number on the bottom. 1, 2, 4 and 5 are food-grade, but also to check to see if they are *food-safe*. +**Containers.** Aboard Pino, we carry some glass containers, as well as thick-walled plastic food-grade containers. We re-use plastic jars used to store olives(3.3 L jars), soy sauce(1.2 L and 3.7 L containers) and peanut butter(1 kg jars). We also keep 4 glass carboys(3.7 L) to store large amounts of rice, wheat berries or cornmeal. We got the carboys from a zero waste grocery store, they occasionally give them away. Accumulating containers this way takes time, but costs less. If purchasing new containers, look for the recycling numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 at the bottom of the jars. -We carry a lot of glass, and don't worry too much about it. After 5 years of hard sailing all of our jars are intact, even the large 5 L jar of umeshu that jumped out of the fridge did not break (only the plastic lid did). Glass does not leach chemicals and does not rust (although the lids might). We've swapped our metallic canning lids for durable plastic ones. On passages, we store glass jars on a shelf that is exactly their height. The jars have little wiggling room. Packing glass in tight-fitting spaces is key to preventing accidents. When the jars are full, the weight keeps them well-seated and secure. We like to use old socks as sleeves for glass jars stored in the settee lockers. +We used to carry a lot of glass, and did not worry too much about it.
