Ginger Root is a wild plant which can be used as a perishable food item or used in cooking as 'spice'.

Usage

Ginger root can be used as spice in cooking recipes, or eaten directly. Despite the pickling of vegetables being an in-game mechanic, Ginger Root cannot be crafted into ginger pickled.

Consumable properties

Ginger root can be eaten, providing the player with some positive effects, however these will become more negative the longer it's left to perish.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
