Stipa Grangania

The Grangania is an underwater plant that grows on nutrient-rich Gangan rocks. Its fruit is a delicacy beloved by Aqua Buddys, though land Buddys say it has a rather salty taste to it. It has a sweetness to it unparalleled by other aquatic plants according to the Aqua Buddys though. Though some Granganias have more a savory taste, they say. After its discovery, it quickly became a staple food in the aquatic community. Due to its ubiquitousness in Aqua Buddy culture, it is often known as the Spotil of the sea. Despite this, it is actually quite rare in the wild, having only become a staple once it could be reliably farmed.

Seaberry Tamamo

The berries produced by the Seaberry Tamamo are sometimes used for paint and dye in Aqua Buddy society, as the pigment doesn't wash away so easily.

As the berries absorb a lot of salt in their native habitat, they aren't much for taste. They have a slightly sour note underneath the salty layer, but are not very sweet.

The seas of JI hold many secrets, and its residents are not always so quick to report their findings to the land dwellers. Though an uncommon type of seaweed, the Seaberry Tamamo was not completely unknown to Aqua Buddys. Though it was likely discovered by them long before it caught any land dweller's eye, an official study and documentation of the Seaberry Tamamo is still ongoing.
