Ruica
Canon Linked from 5 articles
Ruica was a blue plant that could be boiled and eaten. Seeds were transported from the world of Broest to the planet Alderaan so that ruica could be grown and eaten there. During her childhood, Princess Leia Organa did not like the taste of ruica but was persuaded to eat it by her adoptive father, Bail Organa, who claimed it would make her strong. After the destruction of Alderaan by the Galactic Empire, the princess was reminded of Alderaan and her father when Evaan Verlaine gave her ruica to eat.
