Faro Fruit: Faro is a dwarf cactus tree, as tall as a man, with a handful of scaly stems that rise to a tangled crown of needle-covered boughs. The twisted cactus grows a blossom that blooms delicious fruit only once per decade. Faro blossoms have a sweet scent and have huge red flowers on the rare occasion that they bloom. Faro is a cash crop. Each piece of sweet fruit is a delicacy worth more than the plant itself. More common uses are found for the needles of the faro.

On many a voyage across the Silt Sea, the galley slaves eat moldering faro.

Grall Fruit: The bulbous fruit of the grall cactus has a strong, bitter taste.
cost: 2 bits (one fruit)

The inside of the javo is very soft, and contrary to the revolting aroma of the fruit's outer shell, the custard-like interior is nutty and sweet.

The flesh is white, and a woody pit, slightly yellow in color, runs down the center. The flesh darkens quickly when exposed to air, spoiling the solanu's flavor within a day of being peeled.
Ulenta is the most commonly grown edible root. Different species of ulenta have tastes that ranges from very bitter to only mildly so, although bitterness is common to all varieties.
