A cute looking miniature, but a reassuring kitchen ally. Introducing vegetable and fruit type products of the diatomaceous earth series " karari".
"Karari" developed by Anesti is a desiccant series that utilizes the high moisture absorption and desorption properties of diatomaceous earth. It is useful as a measure against humidity in food, clothing, and around water.
I bought "carrot type", "radish type", and "banana type" diatomaceous earth blocks this time. By putting it in a storage container such as salt, sweets such as cookies and rice crackers, and dried food, it absorbs excess moisture. The mild color and crisp texture of the food-derived material is like a rakugan. It adds a casual and fashionable accent to the kitchen scene.
When cleaning, you can wash your hands lightly without using soap or detergent. It can be used again if it is dried in a well-ventilated place or in the sun for at least 24 hours.
Surprisingly, it is NG to put it in a sugar storage container. It is said that it absorbs too much moisture and the sugar hardens. It's as easy as "just put it in a container", but there are some caveats, so it's safe to read the instructions carefully before use.
The selling price (excluding tax) at the supermarket I purchased is 198 yen each. How about taking measures against moisture in foods easily with your favorite motif?
