Tava

"We are on the verge of rationing, and as much as I'd like to devote every offworld mission to the pursuit of tava beans..."

―John Sheppard^[src]

Tava is a type of bean that the Genii are best known for growing. The First Atlantis Reconnaissance Team originally went to their homeworld to discuss trading with them and Teyla Emmagan mentioned the bean. (SGA: "Underground")

Tava beans can be made into tava cakes by the cooks of the Atlantis expedition. Sheppard tried one and noted it to take like sourdough, and had a coarse, heavy texture.(SGA: "Legacy: Homecoming")
