freeze-dried food
Moisture-extracted provisions
Freeze-dried food has had moisture removed through a process of freezing and then vacuum-extracting the ice.
The technique preserves flavor, nutrients, and structure better than conventional drying, and the lightweight results store for years without refrigeration.
Common in camping supplies, emergency kits, and astronaut meals: We packed freeze-dried meals for the backpacking trip.
