Why some food packaging has little packets inside?

Those little packets usually hold tiny beads that soak up moisture. This helps keep foods like dried fruit or jerky fresh and stops them from getting moldy.

⭐ Bonus fact: Silica gel, made from sand, is often used in these packets to keep food dry and safe.
