Mozuuk

Pekk the little agudner boy is eating his mozuuk at dinner. From EP4 - The Twelve Plainswalkers.

Mozuuk (タルのもずく Tal's Mozuku) is a Talyxian plant, with properties similar to a type of edible seaweed found on Earth, commonly used as a source of food in Japan called mozuku (もずく). Its counterpart of planet Tal, mozuuk is an edible Talyxian plant that grows on dry ground rather than underwater.

Note: this was previously known as "Kef's seaweed". Its name has been updated.

Biology

Mozuuk has a similar appearance to both common grass and Earth seaweeds like cladosiphon okamuranus, and purple tones as common Talyxian plants that have no chlorophyll. It is classified as a Talyxian species of plant, but is harmless to Eltus people.

In its natural state, mozuuk does not offer any nutritional value. But when dried and smoked as a cigarette, it can provide helpful sleep-inducing effects. See also: Kef-Bassi

Ecology

Wild mozuuk is incredibly durable, surviving with a high vitality and spreading quickly over surrounding terrain. It can grow in places that are poor in ground nutrition and with little to no water. Due to its natural resistance to salt, mozuuk is hardy enough to grow and thrive in heavily salted environments.

It thrives even in barren desert areas, such as the Kef lands. In fact, mozuuk is the only ecological life can be found in the Kef areas. The Eltus people commonly refer to this particular plant variety as "Kef's mozuuk".

Use

As a food, mozuuk is popular and sought after by many Eltus people. When baked, it has a delightfully crunchy texture, and is enjoyed despite not yielding any nutritional value. In its natural state, it has a dried texture like common grass, but will soften into a plump and tender texture get tender and plump in texture if soaked in water. It is used in a variety of recipies, such as a filling in bread sandwiches.

The other notable use the mozuuk plant is harvested for is to make Kef-Bassi.
