Stainless steel with gasket lid	Durable, non‑porous, no chemical leaching, blocks light	Heavier, more expensive; may dent	Long‑term storage in warm climates
Glass jars with rubber seal	Non‑porous, fully airtight, see‑through (but store in dark place)	Heavy, breakable; not suitable for very large amounts	Portions for 1–2 weeks
Original bag inside a bin	Bag maintains its internal barrier (often foil‑lined); bin adds protection	Bin must be clean and dry; bag must be rolled tightly and clipped	Best practice: use both together
