Taba

Taba was a type of leafy green plant. Taba leaf was used as an ingredient in Taba Leaf Salad, where it was served with a fruity dressing. At some point after publishing his first cookbook in 34 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for Taba Leaf Salad in his second cookbook, The Life Day Cookbook, and described the healthy dish as having a festive flavor due to the dressing.
==Behind the scenes==
In the new Star Wars canon, taba was mentioned in the 2021 Star Wars: The Life Day Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the salad uses baby spinach in place of taba leaves. Taba originated in the script for the 1978 The Star Wars Holiday Special as the in-universe name for bay leaves; however, the line mentioning taba did not make it into the final version of the special.The Star Wars Holiday Special The plant was then mentioned in the Star Wars Legends continuity in the 2009 StarWars.com Hyperspace article "Dining at Dex's," which was written by Gregory Walker.
