Space Food Adventures
Mission notes
In microgravity, food and drink do not settle in a bowl or cup. Loose crumbs and droplets can float into equipment or an astronaut’s eyes, so meals are chosen and handled carefully. Tortillas are often used instead of crumbly bread. Drinks come in sealed pouches with straws. Some meals are freeze-dried: water is removed to make them lighter and easier to store, then water is added before eating. Other foods are heat-treated and sealed in packets. Astronauts use a galley to warm some meals. A blocked nose caused by fluid shifts in microgravity can make flavours seem weaker, so herbs and spices can help.
