Liver

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The liver was an edible internal organ found in many non-sentient creatures and sentient humanoid species. While a type of food that Ewoks did not like,^[1] Nikto ate Human livers,^[2] and many species enjoyed the livers of other creatures.^[3] The liver was one of the primary organs for processing alcohol,^[4] but heavy doses of alcoholic substances could damage it.^[5] If the liver failed completely, one could die.^[6] Fortunately for those with liver trouble, livers could be cloned,^[5] grafted,^[7] and genetically enhanced.^[4]

Zeltrons are an example of sentient humanoids who had two livers, which allowed them to enjoy a larger number of alcoholic beverages than other humanoids.^[8]
