A '''royal jelly''' is a particularly useful [[food]] which provides a whopping 5,000 [[nutrition]], regardless of whether you're a herbivore or a carnivore. It thus provides as much nutrition as a [[meat ration]] at a lighter weight. In addition, eating it restores your damaged [[stat]]s as though you had just [[quaff]]ed a [[potion of restore abilities]]. As they are not subject to most forms of [[item destruction]], they are often worth saving for this purpose.

A '''royal jelly''' is a universally-appealing [[food]] item which provides 2,000 [[nutrition]] regardless of the consumer's [[Herbivore]] or [[Carnivore]] mutations. Although not quite so potent as a [[bread ration]] or [[meat ration]], they can often be found in bulk when raiding [[killer bee]] [[vault]]s.
