Pint mason jars with lids

Single portions of overnight oats, dressings and leftovers.

What it is and why it matters

Mason jars are glass jars with screw-on lids. They hold single servings of overnight oats, salad dressing, pickles and leftovers, and you can shake a dressing right in the jar. They wash easily and last for years.
