Surprisingly more useful as food when cooked than you'd think, especially if you're caught away from base and there's a lack of food to be found. The sanity penalty is negated by picking two flowers and the health penalty is (mostly) negated by eating two petals (or Cave foliage). Can even save your life while exploring the Caves if you run out of food, especially if you have a pre-built Crock Pot ready to place. (1 Monster Meat + 3 Lichen/Banana = Meatballs) When you're starving (like the game's name tells you not to), Depth Worm and Hound attacks are like ordering delivery.
