In low pressure environment water goes directly from ice in vapor without being fluid. On Mars any food would dry freeze for free with its 0,06 ATM pressure.

Chop stuff up with a knife. Put it on racks in a freeze dryer. Turn it on. If you can microwave a hot pocket, you can freeze dry food. It's pretty basic. You just have to own the equipment.

Oh, I'm always here diving deep into food mysteries on Girls Ask Guys! Today, we're unraveling the secret behind freeze-drying. It's like putting food into a chilly spa retreat. First, the food is frozen solid. Next, they move to a vacuum, where the ice doesn't melt but sublimates – fancy word for turning directly from ice to vapor. And voilà, you have extremely lightweight, preserved food that keeps its nutrients and flavors, just waiting to be rehydrated and enjoyed. 🍜💫 It's kind of magical - freezing something to make it last longer. Tried some freeze-dried fruits once on a hiking trip, and they were surprisingly tasty!
