could this jar store 5 lbs of flour?

According to http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm, yes.

I can put a bit more than one full bag of coffee beans into one of these jars, so I think a 5 lb bag of flour should fit.

Dear Careful Customer: Just for you, I measured bread flour by the leveled-off cup into the smallest of these canisters (the turquoise colored one). It held exactly 5 cups.

If you can give me the dimensions of a 10 lb bag of flour I'll measure and let you know. I love this container, it's very large. I keep dog food in it.

It holds a whole bag of flour (5lb) with still about an inch of room to the top.

I'm sorry, but I don't know! The first time I ordered this set, it arrived broken and I had to return it. The 2nd set was also broken - I again returned it to Amazon and told them what a horrible job of packaging was done on both orders and did not re-order. I was very disappointed, as the set was so pretty and exactly what I wanted. I think the large one would hold a small bag of flour, plus - but don't know if it would hold a full five pound bag. Wish I had gotten the set unbroken so I could have an answer for you.

I would think so. I use mine for Dog and Cat food. They hold a 4 lb bag of these products with room to spare, and they require more volume than flour.

Yes, the 23 cup container will easily fit a five pound bag of flour[measured with a unopened five pound bag of sugar and there was plenty of room around and on top in container].

If you were putting a 50 lb. sack inside the container rather than emptying it into the container it could possibly work. I don't think I would store flour in it without some type of liner.

Patricia, I just happen to have a 4lb. bag of sugar sitting right next to the jar, and it appears that it would easily accommodate 5 lbs. of volume, so the answer is "yes" it should be able to meet your needs. It is a very nice jar. Good luck. Larry

I am able to fit an 8 lb bag of dog food into this jar. I love it! I would estimate a good portion of a 10 lb bag of flour would fit nicely in it.

Probably would. You can always put your larger jars on the top shelf. I holds 4 bottles.

If the glass 5 gallon jar is built the same as plastic then yes...I guess you would need to check the diameter of the opening. Sorry I could not help more.

No...I bought it for a cookie jar...but would use it for flour if it had a seal

I'm not home so don't know exactly which one this is but I think a 5# bag of flour would fit in this container.

well my partner and i go through a 4 pound bag usually in a months time,we havent had to store it but i would put it in a dry air tight jar maybe 1/2 gallon mason jars away from sunlight. this is the best deal and a super good flour!the best actually :)

Yes. It has a plastic/teflon inner ring in the lid that you push into the mouth of the jar and it is a fairly tight seal. We store flour and sugar in our jars.

Absolutely. I fit a 50lbs bag of King Arthur Sir Galahad (the wholesale name of the the All Purpose) flour in it without much issue. So I'd feel confidant in saying it will hold 20lbs of rice. You might want to actually purchase a 30lbs container instead if they make one of those since it would take up less space...I know I'm late to the party but in case someone else had a similar question. It will also hold more if you turn the container 1/4 turn to the left (so the spout comes out the top and not the side)
