Why has NASA included 5 hot sauces in Artemis II food menu?

NASA's Artemis II mission carried five hot sauces among 189 food items. Upon entering weightlessness, astronauts experience nasal congestion, which restricts taste. Hot sauces contain capsaicin, which activates the trigeminal nerve, allowing the sensation of heat and pain to be relayed to the brain independently of the nasal passages. This enables astronauts to experience some form of taste.
