Doesn’t space food have water taken out of it?
Catherine commented on :
Yes you are right. The reason a lot of food for space freeze dried is to prevent it from going bad. Food goes bad when bacteria and other microorganisms start to grow in it. By removing all the water this stops the bacteria from growing so the food keeps for much longer, which is important is space as you can’t just pop to the shops if your dinner has gone mouldy!
