As a [[raw food]], insect jelly can be be eaten raw, with a flat 2% chance of giving [[food poisoning]], or cooked into a [[meal]] with a food poisoning chance dependent on the skill of the cook and the [[cleanliness]] of the kitchen.

+ | Eating a single portion of insect jelly refills the [[recreation]] meter of colonists by 8%, providing "Food Consumption" type recreation, and the [[saturation]] meter, providing 0.05 [[nutrition]]. Cooking insect jelly into a [[meal]] loses its recreation bonus. | ||

However, insect jelly has 1/3 the weight per unit. This results in 66.6% the weight per nutrition and {{%|4/15 round 3}} weight per recreation %. Insect jelly's weight may be useful in longer caravan trips, though with sufficient [[pack animals]] you may have enough to sell. Finally, insect jelly is more valuable - in the event that you need to sell things to a faction base, then jelly is superior. |

Chocolate requires both [[Research#Tree sowing|Tree Sowing]] and [[Research#Cocoa|Cocoa]] to be researched. However, once researched, it can be grown at will. Meanwhile, insect jelly requires an [[infestation]]. This first requires that an [[overhead mountain]] tile is available, and then you'll have to fight and/or farm the infestation in the first place. But larger infestations can result in massive quantities of jelly. |
