In the old days, fresh food had to be eaten in the city no more than one or two days after it left the farm. If kept longer, it would spoil. One of the reasons behind it is that the air contains many living things that can harm our food. Some things, such as insects, can be seen by us. Others, like bacteria, can be seen only with a microscope.
All living things need water and man discovered that if this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which causes food to go bad is prevented. In other words, we can protect some of our food by drying it. Besides, living things can only grow at certain temperatures, so we can also protect our food by heating or cooling it.
