About the use of food grade dry ice
Dry ice has a good cooling effect, such as making ice cream. "Dry ice" is also a good preservative. Fish, meat, and other perishable foods are shipped thousands of miles away. You can use "dry ice" to keep these foods fresh. Eggs can be kept fresh indefinitely with "dry ice". When placed in carbon dioxide gas, the flower buds can remain unflowered for three days. When it comes to food-grade dry ...
