They are not designed to obsorb water but to release it slowly. You want silica gel for putting in your jars. RE: water retaining crystals - Barneyboy - 11 June 2013 how about these ones SD http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silica-Gel-Dessicant-Granules-Beads-Self-Indicating-Loose-Multilisting-/140688372885?pt=UK_Packaging_Materials&var=&hash=item20c1ae3495
