"One of Demir's staple crop yields tiny golden kernels that're burstin' with juice sweetness"
―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook[1]

Demiran corn was a type of plant with tiny golden kernels grown on the Unknown Regions planet of Demir. In 35 ABY,[2] the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included the recipe for Cup of Gold which made use the plant's kernals, in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook. In the book, chef Tuggs, stated the plant was similar the type of corn grown by Kat Saka on Batuu but that he found the Demiran version to be superior.[1]

Cup of Gold from The Ultimate Cookbook

Demiran corn was mentioned in a recipe for Cup of Gold in the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The actual name of the plant was not stated in the book, instead it described it as having tiny golden kernels and compared it to corn grown on Battu. The out-of-universe used corn as a stand in for the Demiran plant.[1]

  2. ↑ Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
