Jars are commonly used for storing and preserving various food items, such as jams, jellies, pickles, sauces, spreads, and dry goods like grains, beans, and spices. They can also be used for storing non-food items, such as candles, craft supplies, or personal care products. Jars come in various sizes and shapes, including round, square, or hexagonal, and they may feature decorative elements or designs on the exterior.
