Packaging food for consumption beyond the confines of the big rock in space we call Earth is expensive, complicated, and limited by how much cargo vessels can carry. For extended missions on extraterrestrial environs such as Mars, food will have to be grown locally, as there’s no Amazon Fresh (yet) that delivers outside our atmosphere.

But you know that if food is going to have to grow off-planet, brands want in.

Food brand Heinz and astrobiologist Andrew Palmer from Florida Tech’s Aldrin Space Institute worked together for two years growing tomatoes for “Heinz Marz.” The team at Florida Tech simulated the conditions Martian settlers would likely encounter, such as the kind of soil, or regolith, that would be available, selecting the ideal Heinz seeds. Scientists used massive, make-your-weed-growing-friend-jealous LED lighting rigs, with temperature and irrigation tightly controlled inside a greenhouse nicknamed the “red house” by the team. Though the partners successfully produced tomatoes, the yield was not as high as researchers had hoped, demonstrating there’s still a lot of work to be done before space travelers can make their fries and ketchup on Mars.
