   Life in space sounds very mysterious and interesting. Do you know what astronauts eat in space? Do you have any idea? Well, let me tell you.

　Like people on the ground, astronauts also eat three meals a day—breakfast, lunch and dinner—to stay healthy. They eat fruit after each meal. But the food that astronauts eat is not the same as the food we eat on the ground. Astronauts usually eat ready-to-eat food. They store their food in special bags. They can eat it directly after they open the bags. Sometimes, they can heat the food before eating.

　As for China’s space missions, the onboard menu continues to expand. The variety of prepackaged space food has also increased significantly. From Gongbao chicken and zongzi in different flavors to freeze-dried ice cream, Chinese astronauts can now freely choose their meals in space.
