Stat Modifiers
Ambrosia is a raw drug (not a vegetarian food) that can be harvested only after an ambrosia sprout event (also available through trade), but cannot be grown by the player. It provides a +5 mood buff, +50% to joy and is slightly addictive. Ambrosia does spoil if not refrigerated.
Addiction
Addiction to ambrosia is trivial compared to other drugs; it takes only 10 days before full recovery, and does not impair functioning; it only causes a -10 mood debuff as that pawn craves more ambrosia.
It is also somewhat rare to get an ambrosia addiction, as each fruit only has a 1% chance to give one.

The event can only occur, and thus the bush can only be found, in the following biomes:
