Silica Gel is re-useable many times, by simply drying it out. Laying the bags on a radiator or in the Sun will do the trick. I don't recommend doing this in your food oven, as some have done! I used to buy it from the Chemist years ago, but not sure if you can still do that. Not sure if it is a poison as such, but it would do you a whole lot of no good if you swallowed some! I bet you could have some heading your way with just a few clicks on the internet these days. I still save the little packets that sometimes come in packaging of moisture sensitive things. It's labelled "desiccant". It's also used inside the hollow ally spacer bar round the edge of double glazed units. If there is a sealed unit maker near you, they might bung you a bag?

Might well do but this kind of use would ruin the flavour so only use cheap easy cook rice. Rice absorbs about 3 times it weight in water, though as you aren't actually boiling it then it would be a little less I imagine.
Very dry silica gel absorbs about half and portland cement about a third of its weight in water.
