"Diatomaceous earth" is a material that absorbs water and dries quickly. It dries quickly even when water is dropped, so it is used for bath mats, coasters, toothbrush stands, etc.
Also for draining mats, etc.
In recent years, 100-yen shops are familiar, but this time I found a spoon and desiccant of diatomaceous earth in CAN DO!
It is similar to the diatomaceous earth desiccant series karari series that I found in Nitori before, but it is even cheaper to get.
There are three types of lineup: spoon, stick-shaped block, and square block. One product contains one spoon and two blocks.
All colors are white. The letters "KEEP DRY" are engraved on the handle of the spoon and the surface of the block. It's cute, and it's easy to convey the purpose to people who see it for the first time.
Its use is humidity control and deodorization inside the container. It is used by putting it in a container or bag of food that you want to protect from moisture and odor transfer such as tea leaves and dried foods.

What makes me happy is that I can use it as many times as I want! When the effect disappears, remove it from the container and dry it to restore it. However, it is weaker than silica gel, so be careful not to overconfide. Eat all the food that loses its flavor when it gets damp.
A cute and excellent desiccant for diatomaceous earth. People who tend to buy large volumes of tea leaves, dried foods, etc. are safe to bring!
