Aia

Aia, also known as aia’kan are a type of apple-like fruit from the K’tarn homeworld of Denuku, they are known for their extremely sweet flesh and there are several species of aia tree that produce their fruits with unique flavours. The sweetest and most common is the blue aia, which is dotted with yellow rings. The red, bluespot aia is often used for making aiaku, a sweet, alcoholic beverage.

Aia are extremely high in glucose that some species find them too sweet or intolerable; too much aia for some species can lead to heart disease or diabetes.

The Xz’Yl, who require a high-glucose diet once traded aia with the K’tarn to a massive degree, so much so that one of their agriworlds, Zx’Ini’x, produces so much aia they happily return fresh produce to the K’tarn markets free-of-charge.
