## Food

It produces 1600 kcals Bristle Berry per harvest which is edible or be further cooked into Gristle Berry, Berry Sludge, or Stuffed Berry.

Gristle Berry provides 2000 kcals and requires 1600 kcals of Bristle Berry.

* (2000 kcals / 6 cycles) / 1 plant ≈ 333.33 kcals / cycle / plant
* A Duplicant requires ~1000 kcals per cycle. So you need 1000/333.33 = 3.00 plants per dupe.

Berry Sludge provides 4000 kcals and requires 1600 kcals of Bristle Berry. It improves food quality to Good(+3) with additional requirement of Sleet Wheat to be planted.

* (4000 kcals / 6 cycles) / 1 plant ≈ 666.67 kcals / cycle / plant
* So you need 1000/666.67 = 1.50 plants per dupe.

Stuffed Berry provides 4400 kcals and requires 4000 kcals of Gristle Berry. It improves food quality to Great(+4) with additional requirement of Pincha Peppernut to be planted.

* (4400 kcals / 6 cycles) / 2 plants ≈ 366.67 kcals / cycle / plant
* So you need 1000/366.67 = 2.73 plants per dupe.

## Tips

* Since the bristle blossom needs light for growth, Shine Bugs could prove useful since Lamps, Ceiling Lights, and Sun Lamps create heat. After a long enough time, the heat from the lamps/ceiling lamps/sun lamps will overheat the plants without a cooling system.
* Bristle Blossoms are one of two domesticated plants that make sense to grow for composting purposes, as it allows convertion of pure water into dirt.
