Paonga Fresca

Paonga Fresca was a green-colored beverage made by Gungans, the native sentient species of the planet Naboo. It was made with seeds from the surface of Lake Paonga, which housed their underwater city Otoh Gunga.

When Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs failed to secure the Gungan Boss's permission before fishing for yobshrimp, Gungans captured him and took him to Otoh Gunga. After establishing that the chef was not a threat, they offered him a refreshment. Although Tuggs found the Paonga Fresca's appearance unappealingly swamp-like, he drank it to avoid causing further offense and was pleased with its unexpected flavor and texture.

In 34 ABY, Tuggs wrote and published its recipe in The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook. He topped it with green hemispheres and twisted maroon garnishes, and served it at his mobile restaurant, Tuggs' Grub, which operated out of a modified transport that he often brought to Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo at Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu.
