Blutopia pearl

Blutopia pearls, also written as Blutopia Pearls, were squishy brown orbs from Blutopia, the watery homeworld of Blutopians. They were a favorite treat of the Blutopian Oga Garra and the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs picked some up for her on Blutopia during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he made between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, hoping to earn favor.
He also found the pearls used as an ingredient on the planet Giju in a variant of the beverage Giju Glug and on the planet Ifron, where they were used in Thuris Caf. He then included recipes for the pearls and both beverages in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook.
==Description==
Blutopia pearls, also written as Blutopia Pearls, were small and squishy brown orbs from Blutopia, the watery Expansion Region homeworld of the Blutopian species.Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu Blutopians could eat the vegetarian pearls, as could members of the Artiodac species.
==History==
The pearls were a favorite treat of Oga Garra, a Blutopian who ran Oga's Cantina in Black Spire Outpost on the Outer Rim planet Batuu and held power over the rest of the outpost. After Garra became upset with the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs for publishing the recipe for the blurrgfire beverage sold at her cantina in his first cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook,Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook in 34 ABY, Tuggs decided to try and win back her favor by bringing her Blutopia pearls and picked some up on Blutopia during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.
During the tour, he also encountered Blutopia pearls on other worlds such as Ifron, an Outer Rim planet where it was used as part of a blend of flavors from multiple worlds alongside koja nut milk, caf-infused ice cubes, and an Ithor Float in the Thuris Caf served at the Bovris Tapcafe. He also found it used on the Colonies planetThe Weapon of a Jedi: A Luke Skywalker Adventure Giju, where a layer of the pearls was used as an ingredient in a variant of the beverage Giju Glug that included them for extra flavor and flare. Tuggs decided that this variant was his favorite version of the drink.
In 35 ABY, he published the recipe for the pearls and both beverages in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook. In the recipe for the pearls, he mused that if Garra was not pleased with the treats then he would eat them himself, although he would have to do so somewhere other than Batuu.
