Ventrin bread was a stick-shaped variety of bread originating from the planet known as Hynestia Prime. During Lando Calrissian's breakout from captivity within the Hynestian royal palace, he employed a stale piece of ventrin bread, recovered from the trash container used for his clandestine departure, as a makeshift blaster. Calrissian brandished the ventrin bread at Princess Rinetta Gan, a Hynestian royal, feigning her abduction to deceive the Hynestian Royal Guard; unbeknownst to them, the princess was Calrissian's collaborator and orchestrated their liberation.
The first mention of ventrin bread occurred in the 2018 children's book, Lando's Luck, a component of the Flight of the Falcon collection authored by Justina Ireland.
