Kumeg was a specific kind of plant that grew on Celwis, a planet belonging to the Chiss Ascendancy. Insects could eat it. In 18 BBY, Xodlak'phr'ooa, a rancher with the core name "Lakphro," cultivated kumeg seedlings, and put out insect traps to protect them from being eaten. Approximately in that year, he informed Lakris, his daughter, that he would inspect the kumeg seedlings prior to assisting her with their household yubals.
The 2021 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good, which is the second book in Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy, featured kumeg.
