All food consumed on the Antarctic continent is imported by the governments that support their research stations there.

Exceptions are hydroponic produce items, such as lettuce, tomatoes, spices and edible flowers, that are grown in some research stations. All food grown on the continent must be consumed on the continent, per the Antarctic Treaty.

NASA has studied the viability of hydroponic produce production in Antarctica for use on space travel.
