I always saw them as apothecary jars, possibly for storing light-sensitive herbs. I know people here hate A.I. but sometimes it is faster.
Question to A.I.: How much longer will light sensitive herbs last if protected from ultraviolet light?
Google A.I:
Protecting light-sensitive herbs from ultraviolet (UV) light can double or even triple their potent shelf life compared to storing them in clear glass exposed to ambient light. [1] (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
When properly protected from UV rays and kept airtight, the standard shelf life timelines for dried botanicals extend significantly:
• Leaves and Flowers (e.g., Mint, Chamomile, Hibiscus): Extends from a mere 2 to 6 months in clear glass on an open shelf to 1 to 2 full years.
• Roots, Seeds, and Barks (e.g., Ginger, Cinnamon): Extends from roughly 1 year to 2 to 3 years. [1] (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.), [2] (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
