Polystarch portion bread

Polystarch portion bread, also known as portion bread or simply polystarch, was a type of self-rising bread made by combining polystarch flour with water to trigger a chemical reaction. In 5 ABY, the Battle of Jakku between the New Republic and the Galactic Empire left behind a starship graveyard on Jakku. Many wrecks contained polystarch ration packs that Unkar Plutt used to control the food supply at Niima Outpost, where scavengers like Rey traded valuable salvage for portions of polystarch. After the Battle of Takodana in 34 ABY, the bread was adapted into a recipe by chef Strono Tuggs for The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook.
