Calarantrum was also used as an ingredient in the recipe for the gartro egg omelet, a dish that could be purchased from the Coruscant dining establishment Dex's Diner during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Wookiee Mallatobuck used liberal helpings of calarantrum root when preparing a special Life Day "bantha surprise" dinner for her husband, Chewbacca.
