Charred Beans
A mushy mixture that can serve somewhat as a replacement protein in a meatless diet.
Notes
Charred Beans are a basic cooked food item made by charring beans, providing 350 calories with a modest 8 protein, 3 fat, and 1 carb, but no vitamins. While its low nutrient total of 12 makes it a weak choice for maximizing the XP/skill-gain multiplier from a balanced diet, it serves as a passable protein source in a meatless diet and can be composted when spoiled. A practical tip: because it offers no vitamins and a low overall nutrient count, rely on Charred Beans only as a filler protein early on, and pair it with vitamin-rich foods to avoid a severe balance penalty to your skill-point gain.
