Chamomile is a fresh herb grown in a garden. It weighs only 0.1 and works as a spice. Its main uses are flavouring a salad or a hot drink, and drying it for long keeping.
A fresh sprig lowers hunger by 1 and eases stress a little. It spoils within a week, so most growers turn it into Chamomile (Dried). A farm grows it from Chamomile Seeds. The best occupations for herbs are the Fishing Guide and the Park Ranger. Each starts with the same Foraging skill.
Eating
Eating fresh Chamomile lowers hunger by 1 and stress by 1. It holds almost no calories, carbohydrates, protein or fat. It is a calming herb rather than a meal.
The stress drop is small but real. A sprig eaten during a tense moment takes a little of the edge off. For real food value, it belongs in a dish.
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
Chamomile counts as a spice in evolved recipes. It can go into a Salad or a Hot Drink, adding 1 hunger to either.
The Dry Chamomile recipe turns the fresh herb into Chamomile (Dried). The dried herb keeps much longer and goes into hot drinks as a herbal tea.
These dishes take the Chamomile as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |

| Hot Drink | 1 | - |
| Salad | 1 | - |
Farming
Chamomile grows from Chamomile Seeds. A plant takes about 20 days to grow and gives 4 to 6 sprigs at harvest. The sowing season runs from March to May, and April is the best month. Planting from August through January gives a poor crop.

Storage
Fresh Chamomile stays fresh for 6 days and is fully rotten by day 10. A fridge slows both counts down. Drying the herb is the better way to keep it, since the dried form never spoils.
