awesome product
Always consistently good with great customer service!
Amazing product for microgreens
So far so good. I’ve just started using them in my clamshells for my fresh microgreens so I don’t have a lot of feedback but no complaints. I wish they were a little bigger in size. These are 3x3
I am a brand new entrepreneur in the microgreen growing space. My research led me to believe that an absorbent pad would double the shelf life of my product (normally 5-7 days after harvest). I can now confirm the research! It absolutely did! Our customers are enjoying fresh microgreens up to two weeks after having received them.
Love the product! It works for my home based microgreens! I wish if you have bigger size like 4x6 or 6x7.
Order came quickly and as expected.
Incredibly good customer service.
I add the Hydra-Sorb moisture pad to all my lettuce and microgreen packages. This product was exactly what I needed here in Florida to help combat the excessive humidity during packaging and storage.
The product works well.!
These work great for mymicrogreens
We have purchased this item multiple times with great results.
The absorbent pads arrived on time with a good price point. They have been a great addition to my microgreen containers with the added bonus of them being compostable along with my containers. I would recommend this product
I use these with my microgreens I grow and sell. The pads are easy to use and definitely seem to help my products last longer in their packaging.
These pads are low-key essential. They keep my microgreens fresh without disrupting the natural vibe of my packaging. Love that they’re eco-friendly too—feels good knowing I’m supporting freshness and sustainability. Hydra Sorb gets it.

FAQ
How much moisture can each pad absorb?
Each Hydra-Sorb pad can absorb approximately 3.6-15ml of moisture depending on size. For produce that releases more moisture, we recommend stacking two or more pads.
How can the pads be secured inside my food packaging ?
We provide food grade adhesive with each order. Please refer to our blog and or email us for larger adhesive requirements. The adhesive is FDA Regulation #21CFR175.105
compliant. The application is using a low heat glue gun and a drop or two of adhesive to the underside of the pad in your packaging.
Are the pads safe for all types of produce?
Yes, Hydra-Sorb pads are safe and effective for all types of fresh produce, including fruits, vegetables, and microgreens. They help maintain optimal humidity levels to keep your produce fresh and vibrant.
Can the pads be reused?
Hydra-Sorb pads are designed for single use to ensure the best moisture absorption and hygiene. Reusing pads is not recommended as it may compromise their effectiveness.
How do the pads help extend the shelf life of produce?
Hydra-Sorb pads maintain consistent humidity levels, preventing produce from drying out or becoming soggy. This helps to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer, reducing waste and enhancing their appearance for customers. Every packaging produces moisture when refrigerated, when air is chilled condensation forms and this leads to rapid spoilage prevented by the pad soaking up excess moisture.
