Fruits were a well-known type of food across the galaxy. Consumed either in their natural state or incorporated into cooked meals, they were considered both a pleasure and a valuable luxury during wartime. Fruits contained seeds and developed on trees and plants. A particularly cherished dish was jogan fruitcake, which required the key ingredient, jogan fruit, to be baked within the cake and also utilized as a decorative topping. Fruit could also undergo a drying process to be enjoyed as a snack. A saying that was around by 232 BBY stated "the plant that remains hidden underground will never produce tasty fruit."
Fruits could serve as a non-lethal weapon; when the First Order took control of the refueling station Colossus, the local population showed their disapproval by throwing fruit at the stormtroopers at the marketplace.
The fruits that appear in the scene where Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala are having a meal in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones consist of a pear, a pineapple, an orange, and a starfruit.
Among the fruits that Rey is seen eating at Takodana Castle in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens is a Fuji apple that has Romanesco broccoli sticking out of it. The fruit bowl located on Maz's table features a horned melon along with a sweet granadilla.
