The Best Place to Store Herbs
Miron glass jars are available now. This glass will best preserve the potency of any food or herbs you store inside.
What is Miron Glass?
Although it looks black from the outside, miron glass is a violet glass. If you look at it with a light source behind it, you’ll be able to see this.
While it has only come into modern consciousness recently, first being produced in our modern age back in 1995, evidence suggests that violet glass was used by the ancient Egyptians as well as medieval alchemists to protect special herbs and materials.
When it comes to herbs there are a few natural things that can degrade their quality; light, air and heat.
For these reasons we recommend you keep your herbs sealed in their package and in a dark and cool cabinet. For most, there is no reason to refrigerate but a regular shelf will suffice. Our black bags help to keep the light out.
The most important thing for you to do is to keep the air out as much as possible. In some of the herbs we even add in an oxygen absorber to help with this.
Clear glass lets in the entire light spectrum. Cobalt and amber glass block some of it.
Miron glass only allows in the violet color, as well as UV and infrared light.
What does this mean? Testing shows that it can dramatically improve the shelf life and potency of various products.
You can see what just two months of storage in the different jars did to these chives. Which one would you want to use?
Not only will these taste and smell better, but that also means more of the medicinal properties and nutrition is preserved.
Another test showed what seven months did to a cherry tomato.
We thought about packaging all of our herbs in miron glass but it would increase the cost, not to mention shipping.
Instead we’ve decided to make these available standalone. You can buy one, or a few, and use them to store your Lost Empire Herbs, as well as much else.
They’re reusable, washable, and will last forever as long as you don’t break them.
Three Sizes Available
150 mL – This is a small jar that will be able to hold many of our herbs in the 30-60 gram range.
250 mL – This jar is a little wider than the above but the same height. It holds all 100 gram bags of herbs.
1 L – This can fit any of our 250 gram bagged herbs with room to spare.

I have purchased 2 small size bottles and am very pleased with how the bottles keep my spices and powders fresh and long lasting. Will definitely buy another small and 1 big bottle for future use.
Highly Recommended.

I will say I do want at least one more medium size since I already have one plus a small one for Pearl , I really like and it works for me

The miron glass jars are a great addition to the line. I use two sizes at the moment with a tiny post it label on the inside of the lid. They are so much easier to use than the bags and I’m sure they keep the herbs fresh for a long time. Much less clutter in the drawer too! Thanks guys. T.H.

I ordered the Large Miron glass container for my mega dose of pine pollen and was disappointed when the lid arrived cracked. After a quick email to customer service I had a replacement in 4 days and couldn’t be happier! Lost Empire is a great company that truly does the right thing in service and product! The Miron glass keeps the pollen dry and fresh. The large opening is easy to scoop from and the canister itself looks great on my counter top. If you want a beautiful container that stores herbs perfectly I would recommend these highly. I plan on getting more as I expand my herb usage.

What a great invention…. some herbs can be exspensive and need to be stored well away from light
Bring on the MIRON

Wonderful and beautiful!
I am using the medium size miron glass to store a spice blend , I make and the Chaga I get from Lost Empire. I really enjoy Chaga in my coffee or hot chocolate. I may invest in a large one for the Athena formula, I have come to like.
Overall the miron glass has been wonderful to store powers in and I find it easy to scoop out of . I do like pouring some herbs out of the bag still. It is not easy to pour out the miron glass, without making a mess.
I think it would be nice to provide a customizable label with the glasses/jars.

Good product. Store the big bags of Pine Pollen in one container. It’s also pretty glass.

I have 4 sizes (including a few of the very small jars from Shilajit Resin) and they are all high quality and really great for storing my herbs. I currently use a couple for pine pollen and one for Schisandra. My favorite has a “Super Man Herbs” label from a while back before the name change :] . They are top quality and I highly recommend them for ease of use and freshness for herbs taken regularly.

I’ve had mine for about 4 months. It keeps a good tight seal Everytime. And it not hard to open. I’ve dropped it several times and doesn’t have any cracks or anything . Very good quality. Works alot better than a bag or plastic container. I had a herb I. There for 2 months and the herb was still really good. Very good quality. Keeps good insulation.

These miron glass jars keep the light and oxygen out keeping the herbs fresher longer! I make my own formulas and some of my herbs lasts a long time, the jar makes things so convenient to store and scoop out a little portion at a time! Some herbs I take daily or multiple times a day, I will leave them in the pouch they came in because they will be gone fast! However most of my herbs are scooped with a 1/8th – 1/16th size scoop so they last forever! Those go into the miron glass jars where there is no chance for plastic toxicity! I also take a handful of supplements with every meal and gather them out of their bottles ahead of time, the miron glass jars keep these pills fresh until mealtime when I down the entire handful! And fresh means potency! I highly recommend these miron glass jars, to me, Miron Glass Jars and Lost Empire Herbs go together like Batman and Robin or Captain America and Bucky or white and rice! 🙂

Perfect for storing my herbs. Especially good for pine pollen mega dose. Keeps it fresh and also looks good for a storage container on the counter if you leave it out. Want to expand to more jars for all my herbs.

These are good containers to use for herbs and supplements. I have several of them and like them, as they seem to protect their contents pretty well. They are a little pricey so I recommend using them for your most used herbs or supplements or on things that you know can be damaged by light.

Great choice for herb storage (pine pollen) and another supplement I use (Organic Sulfur). Black glass blocks light, most sources say keep all herbs/supplements away from light to extend shelf life. Recommended if you’re serious about nutrition.

I like the miron glass for pine pollen. It so much easier to scoup out the pine pollen from the glass and helps with the longevity of the product

My Miron Glass containers are working great for storing my herbs. After struggling with the plastic bags not always closing and creating a mess these containers are simple and clean. Thanks Lost Empire Herbs for making my life better!

I wanted to chime in on the Miron Glass I store my herbs from Lost Empire in. It is a great addition to my herb cabinet. It really keeps things fresh and organized. I mix a lot of different herbs in my coffee and rotate them on a daily basis. Sometimes the zip lock bags herbs come in won’t close properly and the Miron Glass just makes it so easy to unscrew the lid and dose up. I have a label on all my glass so I know what container has which herb. Thank you Lost Empire for another high quality addition to my herbal lifestyle. M.S.
