Samana spiced loaf

Samana spiced loaf was a type of bread. During the High Republic Era, it was eaten by residents of a colony on the Outer Rim planet Sedri Minor. In 232 BBY, the Rodian couple Neeso and Reeta carried a bowl of samana spiced loaf to the Jedi flagship Ataraxia to offer help to a group of Jedi who had traveled to the colony. 
After arriving at the Ataraxia, the two saw that a pair of children from the colony had the same idea and taken freshly baked bucco bread to Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis. The Jedi Knight asked if the Rodians had brought her more bread, and Neeso informed her what it was. Neeso then held the bowl as the couple spoke with Trennis and then as they were ushered away from the Jedi by Speaker Kalo Sulman.
