Charred Papaya
Papaya fruit that has been charred over a basic campfire.
Notes
Charred Papaya is a simple early-game food created by cooking papaya fruit over a campfire. It provides a moderate 350 calories and is notably rich in vitamins (8 units) but very low in protein and fat, making it an unbalanced meal on its own. Pair it with a protein-rich dish (like cooked meat or fish) to improve your diet's balance modifier, since the XP bonus from food rewards keeping your carbs, fat, protein, and vitamins roughly even. Like all fresh foods, it has a 72‑hour shelf life and is compostable when spoiled.
