  • Byproducts: nearly every recipe now leaves waste behind, so recipe pages list byproducts alongside ingredients.
  • Garbage & recycling: waste sorts from mixed garbage down to pure materials, and can be recycled back into stock.

Notes

Fried Taro is a cooked vegetable dish that provides 750 calories with a nutrient profile heavy in carbs (14) and fat (8), but low in protein and vitamins (1 each), making it a decent calorie source but a poor contributor to a balanced diet for maximizing the XP skill-gain multiplier. As a fried item, it is compostable and has a 72-hour shelf life, and it serves as an ingredient for crafting Basic Culinary Research Papers, making it relevant for early skill progression.
