Megafrond Grain

Megafrond Grain is a farm product harvested from Megafrond. A domesticated Megafrond produces one batch of grain every 9 cycles, while a wild one produces it every 36 cycles. Harvesting a Megafrond yields 36 Megafrond Grain, and the grain is inedible until cooked or otherwise processed.

In practice, Megafrond Grain functions as a substitute for Sleet Wheat Grain in many late-game recipes. It can be used in the same quantities to make Frost Bun, Soufflé Pancakes, Pepper Bread, Mixed Berry Pie, Frost Burger, Fish Taco, and Shellfish Tempura. It also works in recipes that normally call for Sleet Wheat Grain in general cooking, but it does not replace Sleet Wheat Grain when using the Plant Pulverizer to make Brackene.

• Produces food ingredients rather than direct edible calories.
• Domestication greatly improves output rate compared to wild growth.
• Useful for worlds where Sleet Wheat is unavailable or where Megafrond is already part of the farm setup.
• Can stand in for Sleet Wheat Grain in several cooking recipes, but not in Brackene production.
