How do they get food in the International Space Station?

Food on the International Space Station (ISS) is sent from Earth through resupply missions, typically using cargo spacecraft like SpaceX's Dragon or Northrop Grumman's Cygnus. The food is specially packaged to ensure it remains safe and stable in microgravity, often dehydrated or thermally processed. Astronauts select their meals from a pre-approved menu, and they rehydrate or heat the food before consumption. This careful planning ensures that astronauts receive balanced nutrition during their missions.
