'''Berries''' are a vegetable [[raw food]] obtained by harvesting wild [[berry bush]]es or domesticated [[strawberry plant]]s.  Unlike most raw foods, they can be eaten raw with no [[mood]] penalty.

== Acquisition ==
The following plants provide berries:

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 text-center}}
! Plant !! Harvest Yield <!--!! Yield/Day<br>(70% Fert) !! Yield/Day<br>(100% Fert) !! Yield/Day<br>(140% Fert) !! Yield/Day<br>(280% Fert)-->

|}
</li><div>

Note that only [[strawberry plant]]s can be planted. [[Berry bush]]es only spawn naturally.

Berries can also be foraged by a [[caravan]] when traveling through any [[biome]], other than arid shrubland and both deserts, in its growing season.

== Summary ==
As a [[raw food]], berries can be be eaten raw, with a flat 2% chance of giving [[food poisoning]], or cooked into a [[meal]] with a food poisoning chance dependant on the skill of the cook and the [[cleanliness]] of the kitchen. When used in food recipes that require specific types of [[nutrition]], such as [[fine meal]]s, berries are classified as a vegetable.

Unlike most raw food, eating berries directly does not result in the {{--|7}} ''Ate raw food'' [[mood]] penalty. 

Berries are also unique in that they are the only raw food that conceited [[noble]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} will eat.

Berries take {{P|Days To Start Rot Base}} days to rot without refrigeration, half that of most other vegetarian foods. 

== Analysis == 
Not particularly work or space efficient to grow, nor fertility-insensitive, berries lack a useful niche outside of foraging from wild berry bushes in the very early game. About the only other positive is that pawns will automatically forage berries while inside a caravan, giving them a supplemental source of food.

They can be eaten raw without penalty, but the increased nutrition and decreased food poisoning chance from cooking them into meals is almost always the better choice.

They can be combined with a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or the [[Genes#Strong stomach|strong stomach]] [[gene]]{{BiotechIcon}} to remove the risk of food poisoning, but they'd still be more efficient cooked into meals. Additionally, the only xenotype that spawns with strong stomach, the [[pigskin]] {{BiotechIcon}}, also has [[Genes#Robust digestion|robust digestion]] gene. While it makes raw food as nutritionally efficient as simple and fine meals, it also eliminates the mood penalty from ''all'' raw food, removing the only advantage berries have over other raw vegetarian foods.

They can be eaten by conceited nobles, but that requires that you have nobles, that they are conceited, and that you either don't have the means to make the far more nutritionally efficient fine meals or have a baron or higher, can't make lavish meals, and aren't willing to tank the {{--|3}} from the combined ''Ate fine meal'' mood buff and ''Ate low-class food'' mood penalty but ''are'' willing to risk food poisoning. Even a conceited, pigskin noble would be more efficiently fed by growing corn, and turning that into [[vegetarian lavish meal]]s.
