Tips
Lentils are the single most important grain to stockpile. They appear in more recipes than any other grain, including several of the highest-healing dishes in the game.
Toasted Grains (1x Lentils = +60 Health) is a cheap early-game snack. Cook a batch whenever you pass a bonfire.
Pair Lentils with Fish Fillet for Fish Porridge (+240 Health plus Ice Resistance), one of the best mid-game provisions.
