Berries are small wild fruit, gathered mostly by foraging in forests, farmland and other green areas. Each handful weighs only 0.1. They make a light snack and a sweet addition to cakes, pies, pancakes and oatmeal.
Berries come in several kinds, and some of them are poisonous. Blackberries, blueberries, winter berries and beautyberries are always safe. Holly berries are always poisonous. Unknown wild berries and poison ivy berries may or may not be poisonous. Berries spoil within about ten days. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Eating
Most kinds of Berries lower hunger by 10 and thirst by 1. They hold 23 calories, with 5 grams of carbohydrates and 4 grams of protein. Some of the unknown wild kinds and poison ivy berries lower hunger by only 5.
That makes Berries a small snack rather than a meal. An Apple lowers hunger by 16 and holds 95 calories for twice the weight. Berries are best saved for baking, where they add more to a dish.
Eating an unknown berry is a gamble. The chance that an unknown wild berry is poisonous is 35 percent at Foraging level 0. It falls to 5 percent at Foraging level 10. Which unknown kinds are poisonous is fixed when the world is made. The Herbalist trait or the Wilderness Survival magazine lets a character spot poisonous berries.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Berries are used as an ingredient rather than cooked on their own. Most kinds add 10 hunger to a Cake, a Fruit Salad, Pancakes, a Muffin or a sweet Pie. They add 5 to an ice cream cone or Oatmeal. The weaker wild kinds add 5 to every dish.
A poisonous berry makes the whole dish poisonous. This happens even when the cook cannot tell the berry is poisonous. Only known safe berries belong in a dish. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further in an evolved dish.
These dishes take Berries as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cake | 10 | - |
| Fruit Salad | 10 | - |
| Muffin | 10 | - |
| Pancakes | 10 | - |
| Sweet Pie | 10 | - |
| Ice Cream Cone | 5 | - |
| Oatmeal | 5 | - |
Storage
Berries stay fresh for 6 days and are fully rotten by day 10. A fridge slows both counts down. Baking them into a cake or pie uses a large haul before it spoils.
