freeze-dried meals

Freeze-dried meals are foods that have been preserved by removing most of their water content through a process called freeze-drying. This involves freezing the food, then reducing the pressure to allow the frozen water to sublimate directly from ice to vapor. The result is lightweight, long-lasting, and retaining much of the original flavor and nutritional value. To restore the meal, just add water, hot or cold, and rehydrate it. These meals are popular for camping, emergency preparedness, or convenience, offering a practical way to enjoy nutritious food with minimal storage space and preparation effort.
