Antarian pea

Antarian peas were a species of shelled pea which could be eaten. They were used in various recipes including Endorian chicken pot pie.

Biology and apperance
Antarian peas were a species of pea, a variety of vegetable. They grew with shells which were removed prior to consumption.

History
The Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant grew Antarian peas in it's gardens for use in cooking, and prior to her death in 20 BBY the Human Jedi Knight Jang Li-Li wondered if using the Force to shell the peas was an abuse of power whilst collecting vegetables on dinner duty with the Gran Jedi Master Maks Leem. Prior to the establishment's destruction in 19 BBY, the peas were also served in Dex's Diner on Coruscant as an ingredient in Endorian chicken pot pie along with celonslay, space carrots and Endorian chicken meat all baked into a flaky Pom seed flour crust. Antar was a Gas giant in the Inner Rim with several moons, including Antar 4, that supported life.

Behind the scenes
Antarian peas were first mentioned in the 2004 novel Yoda: Dark Rendezvous which was written by Sean Stewart. They were then mentioned in the Star Wars Hyperspace exclusive article Dining at Dex's which was released in 2009 and written by Gregory Walker. Neither source made clear if there was a relation between the peas and Antar or any of it's moons besides the vegetable's name.
