Canon Legends version → Linked from 19 articles

Rootleaf was a type of vegetable with a light green head of leaves that was used as a common ingredient in cooking. Dishes that used rootleaf included rootleaf stew and Roasted Rootleaf. In 3 ABY, the exiled Jedi Yoda prepared a rootleaf stew in his hut on the planet Dagobah and ate it with the human Jedi-in-training Luke Skywalker. The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for a pungent rootleaf stew in his first cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, in 34 ABY, and a recipe for Roasted Rootleaf in his second cookbook, The Life Day Cookbook.
