Ploin
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Ploin are a type of fruit known to be grown on a number of Imperial worlds (including multiple planets in the Calixis Sector and the Koronus Expanse[2], along with the planet Tanith before its destruction[1]).[2]
Each ploin has green skin, pink flesh and black pips.[1] They are often brewed into a non-alcoholic beverage popular with many explorers as it is nutrient-rich, capable of combating many common illnesses brought on by the habitual poor diets inherent to extended space travel.[2]
When cheaply fermented, ploins produce a clear, strong drink commonly known as "wobble" — as this is both what the fruit does when set upright, as well as what most users do after imbibing.[2]
