HI-SEAS Food Ingredient List

List below are the food & ingredients available to the HI-SEAS Crew during the 2013 mission.

The kitchen will be equipped with a typical range of pots, pans, tools and utensils. There will be a stove, oven, and microwave along with a bread maker and crock-pot. If a particular item is required for your recipe, please be sure to specify it in your description. Water is available, but precious, so please conserve and reuse when possible. We will be at 8,000 feet so please make a note if you prepared your recipe at sea level. Thanks!

If there is an ingredient that you think we should add to the list. Contact us below. any proposed ingredient has to be:
1) shelf stable: after six months at room temperature, still as good as when it was new.
2) arguably different from anything we have on the list already: make them argue it.
