Children cry at the crisp snip of a yuckwheat stem, as they have for hundreds of years. They bawl, and flail, and writhe from their mothers' grasps, deaf to reassurances of the plant's medical potency. Snipped and crushed, the stem tastes acidic on their tongues and their faces contort in children's agony. But they sleep better at night, so their mothers say.
It tastes disgustingly bitter.
— upon consuming |
The stem of the 
yuckwheat plant. It is known for its disgusting taste, but has potent medicinal properties.
When eaten, a yuckwheat stem will cure confusion and poison[1]. If the player character is afflicted with the early stages of Glotrot or Ironshank, eating a yuckwheat stem will give the player character a +2 bonus to the next save against the disease for the day. If 
honey is also consumed, the bonus does not stack. [2][3]
The cooking effect of its preserved form,
fermented yuckwheat stem, has a chance of adding a +3 bonus and cooked[4]. This bonus can be stacked for a +5 resist to disease combined with eating an unpreserved yuckwheat stem.
