Food grade silica packs in Vittles vault

[rmr9]

Never considered this before given that Vittles vaults have gamma seals but I keep mine in the basement full of grain. It can get a bit damp down there, so I was wondering if putting a food grade silica pack or 2 in each would add any benefit. Anyone else toss these in or am I just paranoid/over thinking it?

The Vittles Vaults and other Gamma Seal containers are airtight and should protect your grain. However, if you open then up, moist air could get in. A silica pack might bring you peace of mind.

By now I’ve already gone into them a few times each so it’s possible moist air got inside. Grain looks, smells and tastes normal/good so probably fine. May order a small pack of the silica pouches for the added peace of mind, why not

You can get oxygen absorbing packs as well!

Something else to worry your peace of mind about.
