What food plants grow best in zero gravity?  Like if we wanted to put a small greenhouse in orbit attached to the ISS, what plants should they grow?

Zero gravity currently problems for all normal plants.
On earth, plants use gravity, right from when they first germinate, to tell them which way is up.
This is important because it tells them which way thwir stems should grow, and which way their roots should grow.
Without gravity, plants grow into very strange shapes, and generally dont do very well.

Im not aware of any plants being better than others at coping with this - I dont see why some plants would be better.

Hope this helped!
