Interesting article. Good to see photos of them in space as well.
There’s been chillies kicking around for a few years supposedly originating from seed that have been to space.

In zero gravity, how do the roots know to go down and not up or sideways? I wonder whether they were grown under growlights or direct in a window facing the sun?
Both interesting articles , if a bit short of detail?

"There is a lot of work being done in space agriculture from a nutritional and supplemental perspective, where astronauts are growing a full menu in zero-gravity. In May, astronauts aboard the ISS enjoyed a fresh supply of vegetables, including “Amara” mustard, also known as Ethiopian kale, and the previously grown crop, “extra dwarf” pak choi."
