## Description

Product Description Astronaut Space Food - Neapolitan ice cream sandwich. Freeze-dried, ready-to-eat, Neapolitan ice cream. Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream sandwiched between two chocolatey wafer cookies. 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 crystalizes. The air pressure is lowered, creating a 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 perfect freeze-dried ice cream slice. Net weight 28g, 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. The brand Astronaut Foods was created in 1975 in conjunction with the national air and space museum in the USA to provide authentic foods that had been in space to their museums customers. Please Note: The inner paper wrapper is slit to facilitate freeze drying. Due to the freeze drying process your ice cream may be a little broken.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to purchase this for my class of 24 children to have a little sample taste (linked to our space topic) How many will I need?**
A: If you only want to give each pupil at taster, you could get away with two packets. I generally use three packets with a class to allow each pupil a good sized piece. I also use freeze dried strawberries as well. These can be found in some supermarkets at a lower price than 'spacefood' and is often from the same supplier. If you need any more help try www.spaceschool.org.uk

**Q: How big is it in centimetres?**
A: Hi at a guess I'd say packet size was 12 cm and content a good few cms smaller...kind creamy and crunchy and quite tasty....A fun thing for kids

**Q: I'm off to the sahara desert to run the marathon des sables - would this work in those heat conditions?**
A: Yes, I think that would be a good thing to take & refreshing. good luck!

**Q: Does it need to be kept in the freezer**
A: No the ice cream is a dried food that you can use from the packet (can't remember but you may be able to hydrate it but my son and his friends at school ate it from the packet - it was a fun addition to their space topic).

Got for my space mad 8 year old as a stocking filler. He loved it... not so much the taste but the experience was good. He liked the idea of getting to try what astronauts eat but not sure he'd eat it again...Still saying that he did still eat it all
