Boveda Two-Way Humidity Packs – 49% & 62%
Type: Two-way humidity pack
Adds or removes moisture automatically to hold a sealed container at an exact relative humidity.
Boveda Two-Way Humidity Packs – Perfect Storage, Without Thinking About It
Anything you dry and store at home has a sweet spot for humidity. Too dry, and it turns brittle and loses its aroma. Too damp, and mould sets in. Boveda packs hold that sweet spot for you. Each one uses Boveda's patented two-way technology: it releases moisture when the air is too dry and absorbs it when the air is too damp, constantly adjusting to keep a sealed container at its set humidity.
Which Pack?
| Pack | Holds | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 49% – 60g | 49% RH | Dried mushrooms and anything that must stay below 50%, in large jars and tubs |
| 62% – 8g | 62% RH | Dried herbs, flowers, spices and chillies in small jars |
| 62% – 67g | 62% RH | The same, in large jars, tubs and storage bags |
Why 49% for Dried Mushrooms?
Dried mushrooms need to stay properly dry. Above about 50% humidity they start to soften, lose their snap and become prone to mould. The 49% pack keeps them below that line, so dried shiitake, porcini, morels and other mushrooms stay crisp and keep for longer. The large 60g pack suits bigger storage jars and tubs.
Why Boveda?
- Two-way control: adds and removes moisture
- Set and forget: no dials, no refilling, no mess
- Preserves aroma and texture of dried produce
- Helps prevent mould by stopping humidity creeping too high
How to Use
Drop the pack into an airtight jar or container with your dried produce, and close the lid. Replace the pack when it feels stiff and hard all the way through, which means it has done its job.
⚠️ Please note: never mix packs of different humidity levels in the same container. They'll work against each other.
🌿 Rose's Pro-Tip: glass jars with a good seal give the best results. Boveda can only control the air it's sealed in with, so a leaky lid means it wears out faster.
