All space enthusiasts have wandered from time to time: what exactly do astronauts munch on while drifting through the great unknown? Here’s a peek at what these cosmic explorers dine on high above the Earth.

Let’s begin with breakfast, where astronauts can pick from an impressive array of options. Rehydratable fruits, cereals, scrambled eggs, and crispy bacon are all on the menu, and of course, a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea to start the day off right.

As the day goes on, they have a range of wraps, sandwiches, and rehydratable soups to choose from for lunch, complete with special packaging for condiments to prevent them from floating amok. And when dinner time comes around, astronauts can look forward to hearty dishes like freeze-dried beef stew and chicken curry, with dehydrated vegetables and side dishes to accompany them, followed by delectable desserts like pudding or fruit.

To keep their energy levels up, astronauts have a selection of snacks to munch on, including nuts, trail mix, and granola bars, all carefully packaged to avoid leaving crumbs and floating food bits. And sometimes, they may even receive a special treat like candy to boost their spirits.

As for quenching their thirst, astronauts have a variety of rehydratable drinks, including coffee and tea, all packaged with straws to prevent spills in microgravity, as well as water in pouches with a straw or through a special dispenser.

And last but not least, astronauts ensure they have all the necessary vitamins and minerals by taking supplements to keep themselves in top shape for the extraordinary conditions in space.

So, what about the lunar staff’s fruity array of items to savour in the vacuum of space? How do they manage to guzzle their midday soup or sip on their favourite beverages without making a cosmic mess all around? Luckily, our dedicated astronauts have found a way to keep their eating and drinking habits in order while they brave the final frontier.
