Latest results show that the ones on the space station grew slightly faster than the ones planted on Earth as a controlled experiment. Photo: Space Hummus team
Israeli researchers are leading the ‘Space Hummus’ experiment, in which 28 chickpea seeds were sent to the International Space Station aboard a Nasa cargo mission on February 19. Photo: Space Hummus

Hummus is a protein-packed meal that uses very few ingredients. Astronauts eat dehydrated food stored inside packets. But by growing their own crops, they could add nutrition to their diets on long missions on the Moon. Photo: Simply Hummus
The space station already has a garden that researchers have been using for years to grow different kinds of plants. Photo: Nasa
Arabidopsis seeds, small flowering plants related to cabbage and mustard, grew for about six weeks on the International Space Station. Photo: Nasa
