→Preserves Jar vs. Keg
The Preserves Jar increases the profit of a crop using the following equation: (2 × Base [[Crops|Crop]] Value + 50); while the [[Keg]] multiplies the base value of [[Fruits]] by 3, and [[Vegetables]] by 2.25. Because of this, low-value, high-yield crops like [[Corn]] or [[tomato|Tomatoes]] are more valuable in the preserves jar. The keg, on the other hand, favors crops with a much higher base value, such as [[Ancient Fruit]] or [[Melon]]s. Below is a list of crops that are more beneficial to be put in the preserves jar.

It should be noted that these calculations ONLY involve the value gained in terms of max profit; if looking at profit per day based on the time required (2 days for the preserves jar, 7 days for the keg, plus aging time if desired), it is ALWAYS more beneficial to use a preserves jar, on the highest value item possible (2 days to multiply value by 2×). Even starred crops do not approach the same amount of profit per day in a keg as in the preserves jar.
