Moisture Control Is The Secret To Food Longevity.

These moisture control gauze sponge pads are used in surgical centers.  I use them to provide small nourishing amounts of pure water for food storage longevity.  I lightly dampen the sponge with pure filtered water having no minerals or additives of any kind.  I then open the sponge and completely cover the food going into the refrigerator in a container.  I take lettuce and separate all the leaves.  I put the lettuce in a hard vacuum container placing the moisture control pads on top.  The vacuumed lettuce stays fresh for weeks.  (See picture of my lettuce after 3 weeks) I use a variety of containers such as zip lock bags, 8, 16 or 32 oz. food quality microwaveable restaurant containers or vacuum storage containers.   Material: Non-woven sponge, non-sterile, 4 x 4 inch, 4 ply.  100 or 200 Count. Highly absorbent compared to standard gauze products.
