How can osmosis preserve food?
by packing food with a lot of salt, osmosis is being used to keep bacteria out of the food. If bacteria land on food with a high salt content, then the salt will suck moisture out of the bacteria via osmosis and the bacteria will die. This is not true for halophiles (bacteria that tend to enjoy being in high salt content), but it is true for many bacteria. This is why, before a good understanding of micro-organisms was developed, people noticed that food could be preserved with salt and this was known as "curing" the food.
