I still have some Emirati honey left that I enjoy from time to time. Honey has many benefits, especially for the health of astronauts,” wrote UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi while sharing a video on X. The video opens to show the astronaut holding a bottle of honey upright and squeezing a generous amount while holding a piece of bread on top of it. Due to the microgravity, the honey attaches to the bread and forms a ball. Al Neyadi then shakes the bread around, causing the honey to spread evenly before expertly folding the slice in half and taking a satisfying bite.
