Tenderleaf:

Despite the name it is not particularly tender. It is a treelike plant discovered by the IISS operative Jacob Tender. On the end of his term he got a hold of several seedlings and purchased a plantation to grow it becoming rich in the process. Tenderleaf can be grown in a number of binomes as well as in artificial environments making it a very useful food source. Normally the leaves are used in leaf wraps or salads while the bark is often made into snack chips or ground into a powder to be used for condiments.
