Astronauts in space can eat many different types of foods such as fruits, peanut butter, chicken, beef, seafood, candy, baked goods and more. Coffee and tea can be brewed in space and orange juice, fruit punches and lemonade can provide astronauts with a taste of home as well. Eating in space requires some different tactics however. Astronauts can't shake salt and pepper on their food if it's bland, because the pepper flakes and salt crystals would fly around the ship and could cause problems with filters and equipment. Salt and pepper in space come in liquid form.
