Description

Collection of 25 packages, tubes, and cans of Russian space food designed for use on the International Space Station (ISS), with cuisine including: (vacuum-sealed bags) hot chocolate; tea with sugar; tea without sugar; coffee with milk and sugar; cookies 'Vostok' (blue label); cookies with dried apricots; toffee 'Iris'; prunes with nuts bar; fruits (apples and apricots); marmalade; salty almonds; candy caramel; fruit (peaches); homemade cookies; ginger cookies; Russian cookies; cookies 'Vostok'; (tin cans) meat in white sauce; assorted meat; assorted gourmet; (tube) soup 'Kharcho'; tomato vegetable sauce (Russian-style ketchup); meat puree; space honey; and cottage cheese with blueberry. In overall fine condition. Male cosmonauts are recommended to consume 3200 calories per day, while recommended consumption for a female is 2800 calories. 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.
