The material is kapok, a fiberous vegetable (tree) material common to Mexico and other similar climates. Google kapok and you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know. Don't know about sourcing it, some folks have filled the space with "Chore Girl" woven brass or bronze kitchen pads but of course that doesn't have the same absorbitivity as kapok. I've also heard that shredded coconut husk is a good alternative.
