Product Overview
Remember the acronym MOLT when you are thinking about your food storage: the four enemies of long-term food storage are Moisture, Oxygen, Light, and Temperature. Using Mylar® Bags and Oxygen Absorbers inside a 1, 2 or 5 gallon bucket is your best defense against these enemies. Oxygen absorbers are made of a chemical compound, the active ingredient of which is a powdered iron oxide. Our absorbers are completely safe. While they are not edible, they are not toxic. No harmful gases are created, and the oxygen does not remove the fresh smell and taste of the product.
There are numerous options available for purchasing mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. So, why do we say "just better bags?" What sets us apart? It's quite simple, really...our products stand out. And it isn't just a catchy slogan; our bags truly excel, as confirmed by testing. Among all of our retail competitors, we earned the highest rankings for both bags and oxygen absorbers. And it's not just a slight edge. Our OxyFree absorbers rated 35-45% better than Harvest Right, Packfresh and Top Mylar, and almost 400% their rated capacity (our 300cc absorbers rated a whopping 1106cc actual). Two brands tested (Wallaby & Amazon Full-Seal) didn't even meet their rating and one (Home Sense) had very little excess capacity (barely enough to allow time to open the bag and move the absorbers to mylar bags.)
The benefits of stronger absorbers are two-fold. First, it means your food will be oxygen free longer, giving you peace of mind. Second, it gives you more time to work. Using our competitors' oxygen absorbers, you’ll have to rush to package your food. With ours, you have up to 90 minutes to package your food, without significant loss to actual capacity. Dollar for dollar, based on their ACTUAL, independently tested capacity, our absorbers end up costing well less than our competitors' products.
Here are the main benefits of using our oxygen absorbers:
