Legend

this hardy grain was grown on the planet Dagro. For many years, it was a staple in the diets of many worlds in the vicinity of Dagro, but the market suddenly dropped during the height of the Clone Wars. Many of the farmers on Dagro found themselves with acres and acres of a crop that couldn't quite keep up with the cost to grow it, and turned many of them against the Old Republic. The most usable part of the sargheet plant was the upper stalk, but the lower part - known as crop stubble - could be stripped of its blue bristles and used as feed for livestock. The bristles, which were easy to remove but impossible to digest, had to be removed because they built up in the digestive tract and caused blockages that could lead to death. However, when simmered in water, the bristles released flavors that created a tasty soup stock.
