Enjoy your ice cream just as the Astronauts do - the freeze-dried way! Astronaut Ice Cream, as well as other freeze-dried food items, have been aboard space missions since the early Mercury Missions. They continue to be used on NASA missions today. How is Astronaut Ice Cream Freeze-Dried? Freeze-drying, or lysophilisation, 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 crystalises. The air pressure is lowered, creating a vacuum, forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, vapourising the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a perfect freeze-dried ice cream slice. - Net Weight 19g, Made in the USA - Produced in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, wheat, gluten, egg and tree nut ingredients. - Calories 120 All our Astronaut Foods have the Certified Space Technology insignia on the packaging to indicate that they are the same range as used in space by NASA Astronauts.
