Cosmonauts' cook named the average meal check in space

The average check for breakfast, lunch and dinner in orbit is several tens of thousands of rubles. This was announced on April 10 by Andrey Vedernikov, Head of the Space Nutrition Department at the Research Institute of Food Processing and Special Food Technology.

"The average bill for meals in space per day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, is several tens of thousands of rubles," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The specialist explained that this amount includes not only the food itself, but also special packaging, as well as laboratory tests of each batch of products sent to the ISS.

Vedernikov also shared the details of the space menu. Astronauts usually have an omelet for breakfast, a classic one with mushrooms or vegetables. The morning diet also includes sweet cottage cheese, cereals, coffee with milk and tea. Salad, soup and a second course are always served for lunch.
