What products don't need to be airtight in the kitchen?

As it says - I want to try to use these jars as I like them but not sure what can go in them that's useful & doesn't need to be in an airtight container. I thought flour but apparently it should be airtight, (mine normally stays in the bag until it's well out of date!) Any suggestions?

I can’t think of what you could put in there loose.

What would work... Anything in wrappers - sweets, chocolates, crisp packs

Anything in packets - pasta, rice etc but in the actual packets

Sweets is a good idea. So far I've got sugar, salt & pasta. I will try some other stuff inside clear bags but I don't think I'll like it! I might put my garlic & onions in there!

Do lentils, beans, chickpeas etc need to be airtight?

Put anything in there! If you use stuff up reasonably quickly nothings going to happen to it if it’s exposed to air.
