Notes

Fern Campfire Salad is a basic campfire meal crafted from foraged plants, offering a useful mix of vitamins (13) alongside modest carbs (9) and protein (5). As a tier-zero food that requires no specialty to produce, it provides a solid early-game nutrition boost; eating a balanced variety of foods like this salad, combined with a good house, will increase your skill-point gain rate more than eating raw single ingredients alone.
