Abstract: The present invention is an improved food storage container. The container can be a re-sealable flexible bag or a semi-rigid container, either of which is coupled to an absorbent pad. The absorbent pad absorbs excess liquid eluted from the food stored within or formed by condensation during refrigeration. As a result, the liquid is transported away from the food located in the container via capillary action, reducing rotting, reducing the formation of bacteria without the use of potentially harmful chemicals, preservatives, or other additives, which prolongs the storage life, quality, and nutritional value of foods products kept within the container.
