Q'lavas are fruit that originate from Dominion space. They are popular with the Vorta. In 2373, Kilana offered Benjamin Sisko a q'lava during their negotiations over a Jem'Hadar fighter. She told Sisko they were not poisonous, to which Sisko added "Not to you, anyway". (DS9 episode: "The Ship") In 2376, q'lavas were served on Deep Space 9 at a reception welcoming Bajoran and Cardassian delegates to the station. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: This Gray Spirit)
