When stored in an air-tight glass, plastic container, or metalized ziplock bag, silica gel packets will keep microgreen seeds fresher.
Each 2-gram silica gel packet will reduce moisture in a 240 cubic inch container. For example, a container around 6 by 6 by 6-1/2 inches, or 4 quarts, or 130 ounces, or just under 4 liters.
However, two gel packets are recommended for containers of that size for better moisture removal.
Each packet dimension is 2 ” x 2 “.
The silica gel beads size is about 1 ~ 3 mm.
More Information from Manufacturer
- Silica Gel is a pure, vitreous, porous silicon dioxide made from sodium silicate.
- Premium quality pure and safe silica gel without cobalt chloride.
- It is purified and processed into either granular or beaded form.
- Its high absorption capacity is attributed to its millions of tiny pores.
- The absorption mechanism is purely physical, with no change in the size or shape of the particles, even as they become saturated.
- Even when fully saturated, the material still looks and feels dry.
