Charred Papaya
Papaya fruit that has been charred over a basic campfire.
Notes
Charred Papaya is a basic campfire-cooked fruit providing 350 calories and modest nutrition, with high vitamins but zero fat and low protein, making it a poor standalone source of balanced nutrients. It fits as an early-game food option before more advanced cooking is available, and its short 72-hour shelf life means it should be consumed or preserved quickly. To maximize skill-point gain, pair Charred Papaya with foods rich in fat and protein to improve your diet's balance modifier.
