Acid-beet

Acid-beets were a species of root vegetable from the planet Vjun that were grown in the acid rain that fell on their homeworld. The beets could be eaten by members of the Besalisk species. They were used as ingredients in a side dish customarily served with Crêpes Malreaux, a dish invented by the FIII Footman droid Fidelis for the Ninth count Malreaux, one of the many members of House Malreaux who owned the droid.

In 19 BBY, Fidelis made the Crêpes for the Jedi Whie Malreaux and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy on board the B-7 light freighter Nighthawk, though he lacked acid-beets to make the side dish he would normally serve and was unsure if they were even still exported from Vjun. A dish called acid-beet salad was served on the planet Coruscant in Dex's Diner for 3.5 credits until the diner's destruction during the first two years of the Galactic Empire's rule. The Besalisk owner of the establishment, Dexter Jettster, considered the meal delicious.
