Space Station Chile

John sends this:
Astronauts on the ISS indulged in a special treat after harvesting peppers that have been growing on the ISS since July. The plants are from NuMex "EspaƱola Improved" seeds, a hybrid Hatch chile. Hatch refers to a town and region in New Mexico known for its peppers. 
NASA astronaut Megan McArthur tweeted on Friday about tasting both red and green chile (the peppers turn red when they stay on the plant longer) and shared photos of the tacos she made, which she described as "my best space tacos yet."
