Beans
A good source of protein.
Notes
Beans are a raw food item that provides 150 calories alongside a mix of protein, fat, and carbs — a solid early nutrient source that can help balance a diet when combined with vitamin-rich foods. As a crop, they can be grown on the surface from a seed that yields more beans, making them a renewable food source once agriculture is established. A practical tip for any player planning a balanced diet is to grow or stock beans early, since their protein-heavy profile complements carbohydrate- and vitamin-focused foods and helps push your nutrition balance toward the ×2 XP bonus.
