Charred Fireweed Shoots
It tastes somewhat burnt but at least the fire has removed the bitter taste.
Notes
Charred Fireweed Shoots are a basic early-game food produced by charring fireweed, providing 350 calories but a low and unbalanced nutrient profile (5 carbs, 1 protein, 0 fat, 6 vitamins) that yields a poor XP multiplier. Its low total nutrient value and severe imbalance make it a poor choice for boosting skill-point gain — rely on it only for quick calories when better food is unavailable. As a compostable product with a 72-hour shelf life, it can be composted once spoiled or if surplus.
