Tasted 'healthy food ' NASA Astronauts, how does it taste ?

Healthy food trends are also performed by the astronauts of NASA. They will undergo a strict diet during carrying out its mission in the Orion mission traveled in outer space.

Thus, the United States Space Agency is setting up a kind of healthy food with a solid beam shape like a food bar.

NASA nutritionist, Takiyah Sirmons, say that it is very concern with the health of astronauts while in space. Even so, it's not that the astronauts had to eat as much as possible without looking at the content of the nutrients that they absorbed.

"We deliberately create a food bar, since all sources of nutrients in the diet of these beams is bundled. How to eat the food bar is also very practical and fast. So, will not make the astronauts were overwhelmed when in outer space, "Sirmons said.

Followed by it, every block of 700-calorie food bar has to be able to meet the nutritional intake of astronauts. And later, NASA will produce food bar according to the schedule the astronauts eat for 14 days in space.
NASA prepares a food bar with four flavors, ranging from banana-nut, orange-cranberry, ginger-vanilla, and barbecue-nut. Although it taste quite evocative, food bar is not the food that actually hasn't been able to satisfy their hunger.

"Consuming a food bar is different to the way we eat regular food. This can affect the psychological atmosphere of the astronauts. Although full, they seem to lose the ' reasonable ' way of consuming a food with a spoon, fork, plate, rice, and so on. Their worst, they could risk the loss of appetite. Inevitably, in order to make everything so practical, it should be done, "added Sirmons.

Earlier, the type of food the astronauts NASA packed in a plastic tube and also like toothpaste. Liquid shape, there are also made from powder, although it taste more like the original flavor is made from real food.

Yuri Gagarin was the first man to eat meat mashed and chocolate sauce that is packaged in a tube resembling a toothpaste. Meanwhile, John Glenn was the first person to try eating foods near Earth orbit that vacuum.

According to Glenn, it's hard not to eat in the area. It's just that the food must be adjusted in size to make it easier.
