The harvested Dutch bananas are used as an ingredient for banana cakes and a new speciality beer.

(NYSE: UBER) announced their first-ever food delivery to outer space. Expanding the global company&#8217;s footprint beyond earth&#8217;s surface and into the thermosphere, Uber Eats became the first delivery platform to send food to the International Space Station. Uber Eats teamed up with Japanese entrepreneur and delivery superfan, Yusaku Maezawa, to hand deliver beloved ready-to-eat canned Japanese dishes to the astronauts at the International Space Station as part of his 12-day orbit. This delivery was made on December 11 at 9:40am EST having travelled 248 miles and 8 hours and 34 minutes since Maezawa&#8217;s departure from Earth.
