New research reveals that miso fermented in space, dubbed 'Space Miso', has a distinct taste compared to its Earth counterpart. Conducted aboard the International Space Station, scientists sent miso ingredients for fermentation, resulting in a nuttier flavor. While the space version is deemed tasty, it lacks the quality of miso made on Earth, potentially due to microgravity and radiation effects on fermentation. This study highlights the unique challenges of food production in space as researchers continue to explore life-supporting systems for future missions.
