Hardtack is a type of simple, long-lasting biscuit made from flour, water, and sometimes salt, commonly used as a staple food by sailors and soldiers. Due to its hard and dry nature, it was often soaked in water, coffee, or soup to make it more palatable before consumption. It was valued for its durability and ability to withstand long storage periods without spoiling.
