What Astronauts Really Eat in Space - Space Food Surprises

With no gravity and limited storage, eating and drinking in outer space has its challenges. But the days when astronauts had to eat food paste out of a tube like toothpaste and food in the shape of cubes are long gone. Here’s how space food has changed over the years.
Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nutritionists ensure the food astronauts eat provides them with a balanced supply of vitamins and minerals.

From pureed food in aluminum tubes to fresh lettuce growing in a microgravity environment, what astronauts eat in space is constantly changing. Today, astronauts can enjoy a shrimp cocktail on the International Space Station or request extra hot sauce for their meals – and space food will continue to evolve as technology improves.
