At Loving Foods, we’re serious about what goes into your body - and what holds it. That’s why every jar of our organic kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha is packaged in glass. 

It’s not just a sustainability choice. It’s a health, quality, and flavour choice - one rooted in science, integrity, and a respect for our food and planet.

Glass Protects the Purity of Fermentation

Fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut are living products. Inside every jar are millions of active probiotics and enzymes that continue to develop after fermentation. Glass won’t leach chemicals or interfere with the natural acidity of ferments.

Glass is chemically inert. It protects the integrity of the product - preserving the exact microbial profile, tang, crunch, and health benefits we intended when crafting it.

Shelf Life & Storage: Glass Holds the Advantage

Fermented foods require careful storage. They’re often refrigerated to slow down fermentation and preserve taste and probiotic potency. Glass is excellent at insulating against temperature fluctuations, which is crucial for maintaining the balance of active cultures over time.

In refrigeration, glass containers are more stable, reducing the risk of unwanted fermentation or spoilage. The result? A longer shelf life and a consistently high-quality product from our kitchen to yours.

Sustainability, without Compromise

Glass is endlessly recyclable without loss of quality. A glass jar can become another jar, bottle, or container over and over again. 

At Loving Foods, we believe packaging is part of the product. That’s why we invest in plastic-free, low-waste glass production in the UK. It’s not the cheapest route—but it is the right one.

We encourage reuse too. Our jars make perfect containers for overnight oats, nuts, leftovers, or even DIY fermentation at home. They’re made to live many lives, not one.

Clearer Conscience

Yes, glass adds cost. It’s heavier to transport and more fragile in shipping. But we see it as a promise - to you, your health, and the planet. Every choice we make is guided by this integrity.

So, when you open a jar of Loving Foods kimchi or pour a glass of our kombucha, you’re not just tasting something delicious. You’re benefiting from packaging that’s pure, safe, and made with long-term sustainability in mind.

Because real food deserves real care - from soil to shelf to spoon.
