Sweetmallow was a kind of sugary treat invented by the Aki-Aki, who are the original inhabitants of the world Pasaana. These treats came in a spectrum of hues, each representing a distinct taste, such as yellow for sweetness and purple for a tangy, zesty flavor. These sweetmallows were available on sticks, offered by food sellers like Tanruka Namhi during the Festival of the Ancestors.
During her childhood, when Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan was not yet old enough to go to her mother and father's formal events, small sweetmallow pastries would be delivered to her chambers as a form of compensation.
