Scientists have made a fascinating discovery in the field of space cuisine. They have successfully grown chickpeas in soil similar to that found on the moon. This development could potentially allow future lunar astronauts to make hummus using moon-grown chickpeas. The moon’s lack of organic matter and nutrients poses challenges for plant growth, but by altering the soil’s chemical and physical properties, scientists have found a way to facilitate the presence of beneficial microorganisms. This breakthrough could provide astronauts with a sustainable food source during long-duration space missions.
