    "Fruit always tastes nice when it's ripe. But it can't stay like that. Every nice piece of fruit will rot on the branch if it hangs there long enough."
    ―Glen Taffral[9]

    Fruits were a popular type of food in the galaxy. They were eaten raw or cooked in dishes and were considered a treat and a priced delicacy during times of war.[10] Fruit contained seeds[8] and grew on trees[5] and plants.[11] A much loved dish was jogan fruitcake, which called for the main ingredient, jogan fruit, to be both baked in the batter and used as a topping.[10] Fruit could also be dried and eaten as a snack.[9] A proverb used by the time of[11] 232 BBY[12] went "the plant that stays hidden in the soil never bears delicious fruit."[11]

    Fruit could be used as a non-lethal weapon; when the First Order occupied the refueling station Colossus, the local residents protested by pelting the stormtroopers with fruit at the marketplace.[13]

    The fruits appearing in the scene where Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala are dining in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones include a pear, a pineapple, an orange, and a starfruit.[14]

    Among the fruits Rey is eating at Takodana Castle in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens is a Fuji apple with Romanesco broccoli protruding out of it. The bowl of fruit sitting on Maz Kanata's table include a horned melon and a sweet granadilla.[15]
