Behot was a species of herb that grew on the planet Mandalore. The herb was citrus-flavored and grew rapidly, making it the most likely choice of ingredients for the Mandalorian beverage shig, a tisane brewed from a number of herbs.^[1] In 20 BBY, the Null-class ARC trooper Mereel used behot herbs in the shig he brewed for a pregnant Etain Tur-Mukan in order to help sooth her stomach.^[2] Mereel's adopted father, Kal Skirata, also enjoyed a mug of behot-brewed shig when seeking to calm his nerves.^[3]
