Watch as Astronauts Take the First Bites of Space-Grown Lettuce

That's one small bite for a man, one giant leaf for mankind. Fresh food grown in the microgravity environment of space is officially on the menu for the first time for NASA astronauts on the International Space Station. Astronauts Scott Kelly, Kjell Lindgren and Kimiya Yui sample the fruits of their labor after harvesting a crop of "Outredgeous" red romaine lettuce from the Veggie plant growth system.

This experiment will help provide future pioneers with a sustainable food supplement – a critical part of NASA’s Journey to Mars. As NASA moves toward long-duration exploration missions farther into the solar system, Veggie will be a resource for crew food growth and consumption. Besides having the ability to grow and eat fresh food in space, there also may be a psychological benefit.
