"Much like terrestrial restaurants, future space-based systems will need to address food’s path from source to table, but with far more stringent requirements. This means meeting nutritional goals, easily producing food-safe ingredients in space, recycling inedible biomass and waste, and offering a culinarily delicious and culturally diverse menu."

In controlled environments like vertical farms or greenhouses, using electricity to convert energy into light with LEDs is not the most efficient way because plants waste the majority of that energy. A professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering has figured out a way to grow plants 🌱 in the dark. An electrolyzer turns #CO2 into acetate, and genetically engineered plants use that acetate to grow in the absence of light https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereknorman/2026/06/11/the-moonshot-to-grow-food-in-space/

If you went to the Moon, what would be on the menu? The story of food in space is a fascinating journey of innovation, survival, and human ingenuity. From meat paste squeezed from tubes to lettuce grown in orbit, the quest to feed astronauts has come a long way—and one day, crops may help sustain communities beyond Earth.

Got some interesting food to try out. I have not been impressed with a number brands in the past, but these are some other brands from Europe, with the ex eption of Space Food, which is from the USA.
I once tried a bit of freeze dried ice icream, so quite excited to have been able to get some from an EU shop. It reckon if I can take one pack on 5-day trail, it could do as interesting snack in the late afternoon for one or two days.
There are a number of other deserts in here, because on a multi-day trip, I like to treat myself to one dessert. The Creme Catalana is definitely a novel item.
As to food, the three brands are Adventure Foods (NL), Tent Meals (UK) and Lyo (PL).
I am definitely interested to see if the bobotie will taste anything like the traditional food I know.
The two meals from Tent Meals are interesting, as they are the eat-in-a-packet kind. It makes for smaller packages, but means rehydration needs to happen in a pot. It makes me wonder if I should make up some pot cozy for my MSR Titan kettle.

There are #bacteria 🧫 on Earth that enjoy perchlorates as a food. The organisms could not only get rid of a toxic component in Martian 🔴 dirt to make it farmable 🌱, but perhaps also help produce breathable oxygen for #astronauts https://www.sciencenews.org/article/mars-farming-harder-martian-regolith-soil

Bioprinting of muscle tissue at #Reutlingen University : A variety of plant-based 🌱 or bacterial 🦠 source materials exist that can be utilized for the bioprinting of #Cultured Meat 🥩. The biomaterial should be edible, with a pleasant texture and taste, non-allergenic, as well as preferably sustainable and cost-effective. Some #plant-based additives are based on novel so-called “superfoods”, they are considered to have positive #health aspects when consumed https://publikationen.reutlingen-university.de/frontdoor/deliver/index/docId/4956/file/4956.pdf

There's some fun stuff in this week's Mission Report that's more earthbound than normal - ant yoghurt fermentation and rice cultivation in Cambridgeshire. There's also some #tardigrade action.
But don't worry, there's still plenty about #SpacePlants and #astrobotany!

What's the future of coffee on Mars: will we plant it or synthesise it? ☕
Mars settlers will miss coffee. Do you think we’ll grow coffee plants in Martian greenhouses, or will caffeine have to be lab-made for the first outpost baristas?
And more importantly: how long would you last on Mars without your morning coffee? 😅

#Steak 🥩, mashed potatoes 🥔 and desserts🍦for #astronauts could soon be grown from individual cells in space if an experiment launched into orbit today is successful.
#ESA is funding the research to explore new ways of reducing the cost of feeding an astronaut, which can cost up to £20,000 💰 per day https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp34wzql2xvo
