- "What is it, all protein? No flavor, no spoonful of sweetener. No wonder you guys are so angry all the time. Although I bet your teeth are just perfect."
- ―Vi Moradi
Protein was a component of many foodstuffs and a dietary requirement for some species, including humans. Consuming protein provided beings with energy.
Description[]
Many foodstuffs contained a substance called protein. Although protein was associated with meat,[1] it could be derived from many sources, including some vegetables[10] and chaakroaches.[2] Because protein was a dietary necessity for humans and other species, hungry beings were known to consume creatures otherwise regarded as vermin, such as screerats, vervikks,[3] or the vegicus.[16] On Naboo, fish was considered a staple protein.[4] Porgs, an avian species from Ahch-To, were high in both fat and protein, making them an energy-boosting meal that was easily prepared if the expressions of living porgs were ignored.[6]
Ration packs could contain items comprised primarily or entirely of protein, including protein cubes,[12] protein mush,[13] and protein paste.[8] In the Galactic Empire, officers were expected to consume liquid meals which included vitamins and protein.[6] The standard diet of a First Order stormtrooper was predominantly protein, served as a packet of paste without flavoring or sweeteners.[15]
Parwan Nutricakes were pastries that contained no meat, yet were claimed by the chef Strono Tuggs to be packed with sufficient protein to sustain a being throughout their activities.[1]
