A rich history
Exploring new frontiers in nutrition.
NASA has been researching the properties of microalgae such as Spirulina since the 1960s. It is recognized to be the most efficient food form for longer duration space missions where every microgram of nutrients will play a key role in the astronauts mental and bodily performances.
This is due to the fact that Spirulina is highly digestible and way more bioavailable than any other food form. Contrarily to pill and tablets the micro-nutrients such as minerals and vitamins our totally absorbable by the body, making it a more efficient food form per gram.
Current space programs such as CELSS (NASA) and MELiSSA (ESA) are focusing their research on this topic as this will be the only way humans will be able to make it to Mars. Astrofood valorizes this research for earth food applications.
