The specially prepared dried and vacuum-packed Russian foods have largely alleviated concerns of creating nutritious yet compact foods to be sent into space. The food, following the manufacturing process, retains its natural characteristics, such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins. One of the main advantages of these Russian products is the absence of any stabilizers or preservatives, using only natural ingredients. An interesting and unusual collection.
