| A particularly rich and golden gelatinous thing. A lump of the magical substance produced by giant bees to be fed to their queens. |
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 stats as though you had just quaffed a potion of restore abilities. As they are not subject to most forms of item destruction, they are often worth saving for this purpose.
History
In 0.15, royal jellies will no longer act as potions of restore abilities. Instead, they will restore the same amount of nutrition as the current honeycombs.
