Smelleze Ethylene Gas Absorbent Granules offer a mineral-based approach to produce preservation. The product consists of 1mm zeolite granules that feature a massive internal surface area, acting as a molecular sieve to help capture gases that cause fruits to ripen. Unlike disposable packets, these granules are built for long-term use and can be thermally recharged by placing them in sunlight or an oven to release trapped moisture and gases.
The granules are stored in a sturdy HDPE bottle with a secure cap, designed to handle the demands of a busy household. To use them effectively, they should be spread out in a mesh bag or a shallow tray and placed directly in the path of airflow within the refrigerator. This setup ensures that the granules have maximum contact with the air, which is necessary for the passive absorption process to work correctly.
Practical Highlights
- Non-toxic and 100% natural mineral composition is safe for food contact zones.
- Can be reused for over a year with regular recharging.
- 1mm sizing is screened to minimize dust while maintaining high surface area.
Organizers will appreciate the versatility of this bulk bottle, as it allows for custom dosing in different areas of the kitchen. While the process is slower than active mechanical systems, it provides a consistent and natural way to support food longevity. It is a particularly good choice for those looking for a chemical-free and reusable organization tool.
If you prefer a pre-measured packet system that is ready to use without any setup, the Wisesorb 20-Pack provides a convenient alternative.
