This reaction effectively removes over 99% of the oxygen from a sealed container like a Mylar bag, preventing oxidation and spoilage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many absorbers should I use per bag? −\u003c\/strong\u003e For a standard gallon-size Mylar bag (approx. 10\" x 14\"), one 700CC absorber is sufficient. Always ensure your bag is properly sealed for the absorber to work effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the shelf life of an unopened package? −\u003c\/strong\u003e Unopened packages can be stored for up to a year in a cool, dark, dry place. Once the main package is opened, you should use the absorbers quickly or immediately reseal the unused ones in a small, airtight mason jar to protect them from air exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these necessary for all freeze-dried foods? −\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if you plan on storing your food for more than a few months.

They are not effective in regular plastic bags, which allow oxygen to pass through. We recommend using them with official Harvest Right accessories for guaranteed results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy oxygen absorbers feel hard. Are they still good? −\u003c\/strong\u003e If they are hard and brittle before you've even opened the vacuum-sealed pouch, they may have been exposed to air and are no longer effective. Fresh, active absorbers should feel soft and powdery inside their packet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvest Right","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50849028342075,"sku":"[OXY-002]","price":26.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/5527\/files\/harvest-right-oxygen-absorbers-50-pack-41698170372327_2048x_9dc2c2ec-f91b-427a-8948-2695abfb942e.webp?v=1765920409","url":"https:\/\/newmarketnaturalfoods.ca\/products\/harvest-right-oxygen-absorbers","provider":"NewMarket Natural Foods + Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
