A Jar of Cabbage is a sealed glass jar of pickled cabbage. It saves a cabbage harvest that would otherwise rot within days. A full jar weighs 0.8.

The jar has to be opened before the cabbage can be eaten. Opening it gives a Jar of Cabbage (Open), which lowers hunger by 48 and holds 360 calories. That matches the 2 fresh Cabbages that went into it.

Jars are made with the Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe. Sealed jars also turn up in survivor caches, farm houses and home fridges.

Eating

A sealed jar has to be opened first. The Open Jar of Preserved Food recipe opens it and gives a Jar of Cabbage (Open).

The opened jar lowers hunger by 48. It holds 360 calories, with 82 grams of carbohydrates and 18 grams of protein. That makes it one of the more nourishing vegetable jars.

A single fresh Cabbage lowers hunger by 24 and holds 180 calories. Two of them fill one jar, so the jar keeps their full value.

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

The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe fills one jar with 2 Cabbages. It also needs an empty Jar, a Jar Lid, 2 units of vinegar, salt, a little water and a knife, which is kept. The recipe must be learned first.

A freshly filled jar has to be cooked to seal it. It cooks in 60 minutes and burns after 120. Cooking turns a jar that keeps for a month into one that keeps for years.

Storage

An uncooked jar stays fresh for 30 days and is fully rotten by day 60. Once cooked, the jar stays fresh for 730 days and rots only after 1560. Jars found as loot are already cooked and sealed.

Fresh Cabbage stays fresh for only 2 days. That makes cabbage one of the crops that gains the most from jarring.

Locations

Sealed jars of cabbage are an uncommon find. Survivor food caches and survivor crates are the likeliest spots. Farm house counters hold them now and then. Safehouse fridges and house fridges turn one up on occasion. Garages, closets, attics, kitchens and storage units can hide a jar, but only rarely.
