Why do astronauts eat spirulina?

In 1969, NASA was all set to go to the moon. The only problem was a seemingly simple one: what did the astronauts eat? All objects in space would be completely weightless, floating around like disconnected balloons in the air. Astronauts can not easily chew and swallow, perhaps because food can not swallow and stuck in the center of the esophagus, endangering the lives of astronauts. The spacecraft was too narrow to store much food. In addition, the absorption rate of food is very low, and secretion is also a big problem. Astronauts consume a lot of food, so the nutrient requirements of the food need to be very large, and the food needs to have a very balanced nutrient composition.

The development of space food has become a problem to prevent a lunar landing.

The discovery of spirulina solved the problem.

On July 16, 1969, an American Saturn rocket launched a spacecraft into space. Three astronauts landed on the moon after a four-day flight. At 10:56 p.m. Edt on July 20, 1969, U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped out of his spaceship, put out his left foot in a boot, and set foot on the moon. Then he famously said, "that's one small step for me, one giant leap for mankind." Spirulina is an important player in this giant leap for humans, since their food in space is spirulina.

Astronaut food requirements are strict, top of the list, nutrient rich, high and balanced.

Second, easy to absorb.

Third, to take safety.

Fourth, it should be easy to save. In space conditions and the usual conditions are not easy to change.

Fifth, to light weight, small volume, because of the space 1 kilogram load to consume millions of dollars.

Spirulina was satisfied with these requirements.

First of all, spirulina is extremely rich in nutrients, which is the most excellent pure natural protein food source ever discovered by human beings, with the highest protein content of 60 ~ 70%. Its characteristic algal blue protein, can advance the lymphocyte activity, enhance the human body immunity, thus has the special meaning to the gastrointestinal disease and the liver disease patient recovery.

Vitamin and mineral content is very rich, including vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E, vitamin K, and zinc, iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, iodine and other trace elements.

Secondly, the protein, vitamin, trace elements in spirulina are very simple absorption, absorption digestibility can reach 95%;

Spirulina's "the best food of the 21st century", "the super nutrient food of the future", "super nutrient food", "the best nutrient source of the 21st century" and a series of other praises are enough to clarify its own safety and consumption.

Spirulina is easy to preserve and may be made into capsules that can be easily stored in a sealed, dry environment. The key is their small size, light weight and portability. So spirulina is one of the essential foods for astronauts.
