no, unless you put a little piece of food it in, then it would be food with a little frozen water

Is Ice A Food

Yes absolutely. Don't believe me? check with your local health department about the rules for handling ice. You will find out that ice is food and all food rules apply.

That's hard to say, some say that food is defined as something that you eat with nutritional value, but a lot of people think of celery as food and celery actually has negative calories. Meaning that you burn more calories eating it than what is in it. I would think no, ice is simply a drink in solid form.

Ice is food as much so as water is. Go figure.

Ice sold commercially (grocery store, gas station) is regulated by the FDA and/or the health department. So yes, I would say that it is food with no MORE nutritional value than the water used to make it.

Ice... cream... fruits = smoothies
that's what I can think of....
In summer, I prepare some milk tea ice cubes, put them in a mixer to blend with milk & coffee ice-cream, pain yoghut to fix my favourite smoothies... yummy!!!!!
I also prepare fresh orange juice (cubes), blend with fresh mango or banana, strawberries, blueberries ... the mixture is thick and again very yummy too
Not just water can form ice... coffee / tea / green tea / juice / soup also can be frozen...!

Well, technically no because it's water, so it really is "drink". But you could have a snow-cone and eat it with a spoon, and that's like eating food, but it really is ice with sugar, which is food. But frankly it's not.

You eat it! So it is food. Snow is also food. Delicious and filling. Hungry? Go eat some ice.

In solid state, I guess ice is food. In liquid state, its a drink. But there is a Chinese saying you can "drink water to strive your hunger pang".
