Berries | + | [[Strawberry plant]]s are not particularly work or space efficient to grow, nor are they 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 automatically forage for berries in a caravan, making 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. | |

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 grown in [[hydroponics basin]]s, unlike corn, and unlike potatoes, strawberries receive the full benefit from hydroponics.

Compared to [[rice]], strawberries require {{Good|75%}} as much work for {{Bad|86%}} the yield per tile. While this sounds good on paper, each hydroponics basin costs a lot. Therefefore, tile efficiency is usually valued more than work efficiency. In addition, this requires that you are using hydroponics at all, that outdoor farmland for growing corn/potatoes is unavailable, and that planter work is an issue at all. A moderately skilled planter (8 Plants) can handle 1 full [[sun lamp]] setup, 24 basins, with plenty of time to spare. |

Berries can be eaten by [[conceited noble]]s, but that requires that you have nobles and that they are conceited. Even then, [[fine meal]]s are far more nutritionally efficient, and can be eaten by praetors and below. [[Lavish meal]]s are net equal on nutrition, give {{+|12}} mood, and suit any noble rank. Even a conceited, pigskin noble would be more efficiently fed by growing corn, and turning that into [[vegetarian lavish meal]]s. | Berries can be eaten by [[conceited noble]]s, but that requires that you have nobles and that they are conceited.
