borosilicate glass jar airtight — non-toxic storage for leyla's spices and sarah's pantry
For Sarah, the borosilicate glass jar is a non-toxic pantry choice — lab-grade glass that does not leach chemicals into food, does not absorb flavors or odors, and does not interact with anything stored inside it. The same properties make it Leyla's ideal spice storage: sumac, pul biber, and cumin stored in borosilicate glass stay true to their color and aroma because the container does not affect them. No plastic smell, no yellowing, no compromise. The material used in laboratory glassware because it is chemically inert — applied to the kitchen pantry for exactly the same reason.
Three sizes — 16.9 oz, 20.3 oz, and 25.3 oz — with airtight lid and spoon included.

Why We Selected This Piece
At Rootsware, we carry bakeware that fits the Turkish and Middle Eastern kitchen — the round tray for borek, the deep aluminum pan for baklava, the casserole that goes from oven to table. We selected these because they match the actual formats of diaspora home baking, not the formats of an American baking aisle.
Care & Cleaning
- For nonstick and granite-coated pieces: hand-wash only. Never use metal utensils or abrasive scrubbers.
- For aluminum trays: hand-wash with mild soap. Avoid soaking for extended periods.
- For glass bakeware: dishwasher safe, but hand-washing extends the life of the piece.
- Dry thoroughly before storing.
