Oxygen absorbers are small packets that contain an iron powder. The packets are made of a material that allows oxygen and moisture to enter but does not allow the iron powder to leak out. The Oxygen Absorbers are safe to place on top of the food.
Why are my oxygen absorbers hot?
When oxygen absorbers are in use, they heat up – if you were to remove one that's activated from your jar or container of dry goods while it's doing it's thing, it would actually be warm to the touch. They work on the same chemical reaction process as disposable hand warmers.
