Taba/Legends

Taba was a species of small, green, leafy plant. Sprigs of taba leaves could be added to meals to enhance flavor and add color and eye-appeal. The chef, Gormaanda, provided instructional Holovids including tips on how to properly use this food additive for various meals. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Wookiee, Mallatobuck, used liberal helpings of this item when preparing a special Life Day Bantha Surprise dinner for her husband, Chewbacca. They were also used in gartro egg salad sandwiches in Dex's Diner on the planet Coruscant.
