Want to try four of our great freeze dried snacks? You will receive one each of the following: 1 Neapolitan, 1 Ice Cream Sandwich, Chocolate Chocolate Chip & Mint Chocolate Chip. Loved by children and adults, you receive four delicious ready-to-eat freeze-dried treats.
Originally developed for the early Apollo Space missions, food is frozen to -40 degrees and then vacuum dried and placed in a special foil pouch. This is the same ice cream found at science museums for a fraction of the price! The shelf life is 3 years, so there is no worry about it expiring.
These products are manufactured by the same company that supplies freeze-dried foods to NASA for the Space Shuttle missions. Freeze drying removes water from the ice cream by lowering the air pressure to a point where ice shifts from a solid to a gas. The ice cream is placed in a vacuum chamber and frozen until the water crystallizes. The air pressure is lowered, creating a partial vacuum, forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, vaporizing the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a freeze-dried ice cream slice.
