Silica Gel packets are full of small grains of silicon dioxide in solid form. The technical name for it is silica xerogel, but most people just call it silica gel.
Silica gel is a granular, vitreous, porous form of silicon dioxide made synthetically from sodium silicate. Silica gel contains a nano-porous silica micro-structure, suspended inside a liquid. Silica xerogel is tough and hard; It’s a desiccant, which means water molecules are drawn to it and out of whatever is surrounding the packet.Silica gel is most commonly encountered in everyday life as beads in a small (typically 2 x 3 cm) paper packet.Silica gel is inedible, but it can help keep foods like dried herbs, bread crumbs, crackers, and anything else that should be kept as crispy as possible from getting soggy.
