Si miras en cualquier supermercado, ver\u00e1s que hay miles de comidas diferentes. En cualquier restaurante o cafeter\u00eda puede haber una docena o m\u00e1s de platos en el men\u00fa. Pero, \u00bfqu\u00e9 comer\u00e1n los primeros astronautas que lleguen a Marte?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

En un intento por responder a esta pregunta, la ESA solicit\u00f3 a cocineros franceses de empresas como GEM y Alain Ducasse Formation (ADF) la creaci\u00f3n de comidas marcianas. Su misi\u00f3n consisti\u00f3 en crear apetitosos platos con s\u00f3lo unos pocos ingredientes, que pudieran crecer en invernaderos lejos de la Tierra.<\/p>\n

Se crearon 11 incre\u00edbles recetas, entre las que cabe destacar el \u2018pan marciano y mermelada de tomate verde\u2019, \u2018\u00f1oquis de espirulina\u2019 y \u2018milhoja de patata y tomate'.<\/p>\n

“Following intensive work, we finally have created healthy, tasty and fresh dishes, which is the realisation of a great challenge,\u201d said Armand Arnal, the chef who created the recipes.<\/p>\n

Los nueve ingredientes b\u00e1sicos de Armand fueron: arroz, cebolla, tomate, soja, patata, lechuga, espinaca, trigo y espirulina. Todos estos ingredientes son bien conocidos salvo la espirulina, que es un tipo de alga azul verdosa que contiene muchas prote\u00ednas, calcio, carbohidratos y vitaminas, y que resulta ideal para astronautas que trabajen en entornos extremos.<\/p>\n

Estos nueve cultivos de alimentos deb\u00edan representar el 40% (dos quintas partes) de la receta final. El resto pod\u00eda estar formado por otras verduras, hierbas, aceite, mantequilla, sal y otros condimentos que pudieran llevarse desde la Tierra.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 un 40%? Este es el porcentaje para que las plantas produzcan suficiente aire y agua para la supervivencia de las personas,\u201d coment\u00f3 Christophe Lasseur de la ESA. \u201cObtenemos el ox\u00edgeno y el agua necesarios de forma 'gratuita'.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
