"Space salad" is also as tasty and useful as ground salad, research

Florida: Research on salad leaves grown in space has shown that in terms of their taste and nutrition, they are similar to ground salad leaves, but in some cases even better than ground salad leaves.The addresses of the salads mentioned here were developed between 2014 and 2016, in a special system "Vegetable Production System" at the World Space Station.The system uses LED lights and automatic irrigation systems to grow vegetables, which do not require human intervention or maintenance.The staff at the space station ate some of these salad leaves and described them as just as delicious as ground salad.The remaining salad leaves were frozen and shipped back to the ground. Here is a careful and detailed biological and chemical comparison of the "ground salad leaves" grown during the same period at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.A report published in the research journal "Frontiers in Plant Science" states that space salads are similar to those grown on Earth in terms of their biochemical and chemical composition (chemical and biological composition).However, it is more potent than ground salad in terms of useful minerals, especially potassium, sodium, phosphorus, sulfur and zinc. In addition, it also contains high amounts of useful compounds called "phenolics", which are known for their beneficial properties against viruses, inflammation and cancer.Another important thing is that space salads do not contain harmful germs such as E. coli or salmonella, which usually cause poisoning (food poisoning) and take the eater to the hospital.This is the first time that food grown in space has been described as useful and healthy for human consumption. In the next phase, similar trials will be performed on other fruits, tomatoes and peppers.
