ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti shares how she maintains a healthy and balanced diet during her Minerva mission aboard the International Space Station. She introduces her “piatto unico” meal allowance, featuring freeze-dried meals that are self-balanced according to the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate guidance and Mediterranean diet principles. As she showcases two of her favourite meals, a wholegrain wheat couscous with vegetables and legumes, and a spelt salad with Mediterranean little tunny, dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and asparagus, she emphasizes the importance of selecting local, seasonal, and natural ingredients for optimal nutrition and taste. Join Samantha on her culinary journey in space!

The Thanksgiving holiday is a time for enjoying family, friends, and especially food – and that goes for our astronauts in space.
From the squeeze food tubes of the early Mercury missions to delicious tacos and mac & cheese on board the International Space Station, NASA’s space food scientists are working harder than ever to come up with the best tasting cosmic cuisine.
So, whether your meal is floating out in front you, or resting firmly on your table – from our NASA family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
Our alien friend Paxi, ESA Education’s mascot, went to visit Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui on board the International Space Station. Kimiya shows Paxi what it’s like to prepare and eat food in weightlessness, an important part of the day when living on the ISS.
