That triggers a thought..... Canning jars are great ways to store anything even if you don't process the food.
Once you dehydrate your food to the proper moisture level, you can put the dehydrated food in canning jars and just screw on the usual canning jars lids. Although it isn't processed, those canning jar lids still have a great seal and will prevent any moisture from getting in.
Some canning jars are made to be can and freeze jars and are great for storing nuts, grains, and spices in the freezer without have to worry about freezer burn.
I've stored spices in my freezer in canning jars for literally years with very little apparent deterioration or loss of flavor.
Since the jars are basically hermetically sealed, they can keep out insects and other critters that can chew through plastic to get to the contents.

Glass beats plastic, anytime.
I attempt to use it for all my storage and leftovers, and never got real hooked on plastic products.
Yes I use plastic, but never in the microwave and only when it does the job, better than something else.
I said for years that plastic should not be in the microwave, and at last heard Dr. Bill Wattenberg say”no plastic in the microwave, when it is heated, it releases some of its petrochemical ingredients in your food.” He also says “Never put a plastic baby bottle in the microwave”.
Dr. Bill is a scientist, not a medical doctor.
I have to fight my family when they come to visit, to keep them from throwing out my glass jars, they know that I will never can again and think they should go........I disagree.
