In the late Third Age, Galadriel gave a large store of it to the Fellowship of the Ring upon its departure from Lothlórien. Once Beleriand sank under the Sea and Doriath with it in FA 587, knowledge of the lembas recipe continued with Galadriel, in Lothlórien, and other Elves. In the First Age, she bequeathed some lembas to Beleg Strongbow for his assistance in seeking and locating Túrin for her and King Thingol. Melian, the Queen of Doriath, was the Maia who originally held its recipe. These traditions were passed on throughout the long ages from house to house of the High Elves. It is said by the Eldar that the art of preparing the lembas came from the Vala Yavanna as far back to the Elves’ Great Journey to Aman, when she brought to them a special corn grown on her fields there.
