2. When food is freeze-dried, every bit of water is removed from it.

Without a water content, and the microorganisms that go along with
it, food is less likely to spoil, even if it remains at room temperature for
many years. Freeze drying also allows the food being preserved to
keep its original texture, flavor and smell, which gives it an
advantage over other food preservation methods.

Final answer:

Freeze-drying removes water from food in a vacuum to prevent spoilage and preserve original qualities for long-term storage at room temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Freeze-drying is a method of preservation that rapidly freezes the food and then removes water by sublimation in a vacuum, preventing microbial growth and hence spoilage without altering the food's original texture, flavor, and smell, enabling long-term room temperature storage.
