I made some beef jerky, and I am wanting to mail some to family and friends. I don't have any of those silica gel packets to absorb moisture – is there anything else I can put in the baggie that will absorb any moisture as effectively as those silica gel packets?

Best Answer
There are several options:
The method you choose also depends on how long it takes the mail to be delivered. Rice is the most long-lasting way, but it will also add the most weight to the package. Paper bags and towels are equally effective, but they won't do for longer than a few days.
Whichever you do, make sure the baggie is well closed to prevent any moisture from outside getting in.
