Kand tree

The kand tree was a type of fruit-bearing tree grown in the orchard of a Kel Dor on the Expansion Region planet Dorin, a world with a helium-rich atmosphere. The orchard owner provided zand nuts and some of the fruit from his kand trees to the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs during a culinary tour of the galaxy that Tuggs took between 34 ABY and 35 ABY. The Artiodac then used the fruit and nuts to make a fragrant bread known as Kand and Zand Rolls that he included the recipe for in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY.

In the current Star Wars canon, kand trees were mentioned in the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The fruit in the out-of-universe recipe for the bread consists of dried apricots and dried cranberry. In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the kand was mentioned in the Galactic Campaign Guide, a 2003 supplement for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game written by Peter M. Schweighofer and J.D. Wiker and published by Wizards of the Coast.
