Are these safe to store vegetable seeds in? Are these air tight? Will keeping in the fridge shrink the tube a bit so that air can go in?

Yes there are air tight and don't see why not safe to store seeds. Don't know about shrinking but don't think so.

Their not very sturdy but flexible so they don't crack. I have found an alternative method. I use a clear plastic storage container with lid. I place the heat mat under the plastic container and reuse the plastic six-pack containers that small vegetables had originally come in. I fill the plastic container with six-packs to germinate seeds. I place a spacer between the top of the container and the lid for air flow. I find that it is easier to move the new seedlings around in six-packs rather than the 72 plastic tray when ready to plant or give away to friends.

Well, they have holes in the tops; so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by airtight. The tops do stay on quite well, but the holes would allow air to get in.

In terms of being Air Tight ,they Are pretty Air Tight . I have Not had any Issues with Moisture at all . I have My Baking Flour in one and has held up just fine . Stays Fresh and Dry .

I keep mine in the veggie/fruit drawers in the fridge and they work perfectly.......maybe the other reviewers are using it on the counter or in the open somewhere and it is not as effective?

Absolutely not AIR TIGHT. I store hulled barley in one and Brown rice in the other for daily nutrition. Buy a 30cal US Army Surplus Ammo Can for Seed Storage they seal air tight.

No they are not. If you use your spice constantly like I do you don't have to worry about them being air tight. My spices get used before they go stale.

Yes, they are absolutely air tight. There is a rubber (or perhaps silicone?) gasket around each lid, and when closed makes a tight seal. I keep items such as flour, cornmeal and sugar in them safely.

No, it is not air tight. They go stale slower, but if the cup has snack in it that I think will take more than three days to finish, I just put it in a ziploc that I wrote "snacky cup" on (just so I didn't keep reusing ziplocs, being that they don't touch the food).

I wouldn't use this for food storage at all ! it not made for that, it's not ait tight, you have no idea if the material if free of toxins or full of them. A better idea would be to but a Vittels Vault, they're great for food storage, they lock down air tight. Amazon carries them in many sizes I suggest checking them out.

These are great for transporting lettuce and other greens from the market to your house. As far as storing them for time they are just adequate. Most refrigerators try to reduce moisture by pumping out air and since these are open aired, the moisture in greens goes with them. If you're only planning on a day or two they'll be fine, but if you're looking to store them for an extended time (which you really shouldn't since you're buying them fresh) they're not as good as plastic for retaining moisture. I hope this helps and I need to say that I love mine! Would order them again in a minute if I didn't have them!

These are 'shelf stable'. You should refrigerate anyways for what is considered the maximum potency you can achieve.

I wouldn't recommend the use of these jars for spice storage. They are made to go in the 'fridge to store yogurt, so I couldn't guarantee they would be adequately airtight for spices. I would recommend something with a vacuum seal.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I keep mine in an airtight container in my pantry and so far have not had any problems. I use them so they aren't in the pantry for more than a few months.

These are very good a storing dry goods. Since the lids are watertight they hold in the product's freshness very well. As will any dry goods though, make sure that you eliminate as much oxygen as possible. Adding oxygen absorbers and/or flushing the container with nitrogen is recommended.

They should be kept in an air tight container -- but you could store them in the fridge or even the freezer. Albanese also has a website you could visit for details or questions. http://www.albanesecandy.com/
