In the next few months a big food processor will announce that it is flash-freezing fruits and vegetables with liquid nitrogen, which locks in that on-the-vine flavor. Last week McDonnell Aircraft announced that it has ordered eight special nitrogen-cooled chambers that re-create the lonely cold and vacuum of outer space...
