Automato

A biometal vegetable edible by any species, but only grown by the glitch. This is not metal-plated food, but solid metal. Just as the fruit appears, it is a tomato made out of metal plates attached with bolts or screws- and the entire thing grows that way. The vine it grows from is rigid and looks like bronze, or something else in between rusted iron and copper. The vines remain even after being harvested. The screws or bolts are edible, and some species consider them to be "the crunchy bits".

When the unnamed robot claimed Daenc Hydrax 4 as its planet to govern, the glitch civilization there had this already growing at their farm.
