Dried Fruit

"Fruit that has been dried, often near a fire, under the sun or in an oven. With its moisture gone, they lasts quite a bit longer and travel quite well. Favored by caravaneers and tribals alike. Can be used in cooking recipes."

Dried Fruit is a food item added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. It can be produced early, as soon as Basic Food Preservation has been researched, but requires multiple steps to be produced, first needed to be prepared and then dried for 2 days outside.

Unfortunately the quality of the fruit is lost, meaning all mood benefits are also lost. However, given how easy it is to make alongside the massively improved shelf life and general increase in value, there's little reason for a pre-refrigeration colony not to make it.

Additionally, if necessary, the shelf life can be further extended by processing it into pemmican, a combination that works extremely well with dried meat.
