Supplying the International Space Station (ISS) with bell peppers
On Sept 21st, Space X – 4 began its cargo flight from Cape Canaveral, FL to bring supplies to ISS including a list of highly nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables. Bell Peppers are an excellent source of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and folacin, all crucial parts to a balanced and healthy diet.
“We are honoured to be part of this adventure to bring fresh vegetables to space.” stated Matthew Mastronardi, Chief Marketing Officer at Pure Flavor®. “All of us at Pure Flavor® are very excited to be working with NASA in their journey to explore the universe in a healthy way.”
Early in the space program prepared meals for astronauts in space were only available in semi-liquid form stored in specially designed packages. A few short decades later, technology has evolved and has given astronauts the ability to have more variety and better food selections which include some fresh fruits and vegetables.
Pure Flavor® would like to thank NASA for including us in this amazing journey and look forward to other future opportunities. The company wishes the crew members all the best and have a safe return flight back to earth.
