Wild plants are found naturally occurring in the world. Some can be pulled by hand, while others require tools to harvest and process into seeds which can be farmed. Burdock, tule reeds, cacti and some others cannot be domesticated.

## Found in the grasslands

Grasslands is the biome most abundant in wild food.

### Wild Gooseberry Bush

Wild Goosberry Bush is the only renewable food source in the grasslands. The berries can be picked one by one by hand or all at once by using a bowl. Every 10 minutes, a gooseberry regrows on the bush without any input from the player until it maxes out at six berries. No wildlife feeds on wild berries. As such, the wild gooseberry bush is a much better choice for early camps — and even for later stages of the game — than its domestic equivalent.

The wild gooseberry bush can be removed by emptying it of berries, then using stakes to get Staked Gooseberry Bush, then watering, and promptly using a shovel to get Dug Gooseberry Bush with Stakes. The last two actions must be done in less than 2 seconds.

If a knife is used on a gooseberry, it turns into a gooseberry seed. It can be then planted in Deep Tilled Row to grow into a domestic gooseberry bush. A gooseberry despawns after five minutes if not in a bowl, while the gooseberry seed despawns after one hour if not in a bowl or a seedbag.

   Wild Onion
### Wild Onion

Wild Onion can be pulled from the ground with bare hands and eaten directly, or planted into a Deep Tilled Row in order to farm onions.

Wild Garlic
### Wild Garlic

Wild Garlic has a rare chance (0,62%) to spawn in the grasslands. It can be picked with bare hands, eaten directly, or planted into into a Deep Tilled Row in order to farm garlic.

Burdock
### Burdock

Digging it up with a sharp stone will give you an edible Burdock Root. Burdock do not regenerate, nor can they be farmed, so it is mainly useful as a "bootstrap" food, before crops have been established, or as variety to add to your yum bonus.

### Wild Potato

Wild Potato is a plant found in the grasslands which can be domesticated to farm potatoes. Using a Sharp Stone or shovel will give Wild Potato Tubers, which can be planted in a Deep Tilled Row to make dry planted potatoes.

Wild Beet
### Wild Beet

If you try to pick up a wild beet with an empty hand, you will get a seed that can be planted to farm beets. To get an edible wild beet, you need to use a sharp stone or a shovel.

### Inedible grassland wild plants

Those plants cannot be eaten or made into food in any other way. However, they are still an important part of survival and technological progress.

#### Milkweed

Milkweed
Milkweed is a common plant that looks and behaves the same in both wild and domesticated form. It can be harvested with a bare hand to get a milkweed stalk. Two milkweed stalks can be combined into a thread. Milkweed can also be used in honey farms. If a bee lands on it when it is in its flowering stage, the bee will collect nectar that can be then made into honey.

Milkweed changes stages every 20 seconds. If harvested when fruiting (when it has yellow fruit), an unlimited number of milkweed seeds can be harvested until the debris decays into a stump after 10 minutes. If the milkweed is harvested in any other stage, it decays much faster - only after one minute.

Planting milkweed in rarely recommended, though it is useful in booming early camps where wild milkweed is hard to come by and the town is not yet advanced enough to use other methods of providing threads.

To plant a milkweed, it first needs to be harvested when it's in its fruiting stage. Then, milkweed seeds can be picked from the debris with a bare hand and planted in a Deep Tilled Row.

#### Sapling

Sapling
A sapling can be cut with a sharp stone to obtain sticks. It can be cut with any knife to get a cutting that can be then planted in a Deep Tilled Row to grow domestic sapling. The number of cuttings is unlimited, although they despawn after 10 minutes if not planted. The stump despawns after an hour, though it can be removed with a shovel, too.
Domestic saplings provide weak sticks that break if used as a hoe, but otherwise can be used the same as the stick.

## Found in the prairie

The yellow prairie is a great place to gather early yums and many seeds for the farm.

### Grape

Grape is the only replenishing food in the prairie. It can be picked up with a bare hand. You can eat the grape or put it in a basket to make it into a wine. To plant a domestic grape, you will need steel shears.

### Wild Carrot

Seeding Wild Carrot
A **Wild carrot** is a plant found in prairies. You can grab a Carrot Seed Head from a **Seeding Wild Carrot** in order to farm carrots. It can also be dug with a sharp stone or a shovel to get **Dug Wild Carrot**. The carrot can be eaten raw, or used in recipes in lieu of a domestic carrot.

### Wheat

File:Wheat.pngWheat
**Ripe Wheat** is a plant found in prairies which can be farmed. It can be harvested for a wheat seed head or cut with a sharp stone or a knife for a **Wheat Sheaf**. Domesticated wheat doesn't differ from the wild one. When harvested, it leaves wheat stumps that despawn after 2 minutes, which makes wheat a perfect crop to plant if you want to get rid of a soil row.
Wheat can be grinded into flour and then used to make pancakes, dough for pies or bread, or added to French Onion Soup.
Its products can be used in composting, cooking, constructionstraw hat, baskets and adobe.

## Found in the desert

### Coconut

Coconuts provide two small yums and are accessible very early in the game. For both you first need to peel the coconut with any kind of knife. The resulting coconut coir can be used as tinder, but as it despawns in 2 minutes it is usually not used at all. The peeled coconut can be eaten in two steps:

1. Drilled coconut Make a hole with the flint-tipped bow drill and drink the coconut water. Yum!
2. Split coconut The full or empty coconut can be split using any kind of axe or hammer (bronze or steel) or you place it on a big hard rock and smash it with a round stone. It will result in two halfs, which means two bites for this "dish".

You can even create a fancy bra from the coconut bowls: If you place the empty coconut bowls on the ground, they will despawn in 1 minute. If you combine two, they will persist and adding a simple rope will turn them into a coconut bra.
