The center's food and nutrition department head, said cosmic food not only tastes delicious, but also provides 2,400 calories of energy according to an astronaut's needs.
Mr. Chen affirmed: 'They (cosmic food) are especially suitable for those who often participate in outdoor activities such as adventure, climbing and traveling'.
So far, the center has focused on producing cosmic dishes similar to many moon cakes. In addition to processing a wide range of products for sale to the market, the center also prepares new dishes for Chinese astronauts' space flight in 2008 such as chocolates and desserts.
According to Mr. Chen, Chinese astronauts are not picky about eating, but most like spicy food.
