Abstract

This disclosure provides a package for a product, including a capsule body configured to accommodate a predetermined amount of the product; a handle connected to one side of the capsule body; and a lid, wherein the capsule body is sealed with the lid. The capsule body, the handle, and the lid are made of an oxygen-proof, lightproof, moisture-proof, and sustainable material, e.g., aluminum. A modified atmosphere packaging technique is used during the packaging process to extend shelf life.

a handle connected to one side of the capsule body; and

a lid comprising the oxygen-proof, lightproof, and moisture-proof material, wherein the capsule body is sealed with the lid using a food-safe adhesive to form a hermetic seal that protects the dry food product in the capsule body from outside air, light, and moisture.

11. A seasoning package, comprising:

a capsule body comprising an oxygen-proof, lightproof, and moisture-proof material configured to accommodate a single-use predetermined amount of a dry seasoning, wherein the single-use predetermined amount of the dry seasoning is within the capsule body;

a food-safe noble gas within the capsule body to displace oxygen in and around the dry seasoning;

a handle connected to one side of the capsule body; and

a lid comprising the oxygen-proof, lightproof, and moisture-proof material, wherein the capsule body is sealed with the lid using a food-safe adhesive to form a hermetic seal that protects the dry seasoning in the capsule body from outside air, light, and moisture.
