Dried Foods in Dragonwilds: A Tenth of a Kilogram Each
Dragonwilds has five dried foods, and four of them weigh 0.1 — a tenth of a kilogram each. That single number puts them at the very top of the sustenance-per-weight table, above every cooked meal in the game. A Dried Peach delivers 250 sustenance per unit of weight; a Roast Dinner delivers 40. They will not save you in a fight, but they will get you home.
Five Dried Items
| Dried food | Health | Sustenance | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dried Peach | 20 | 25 | 0.1 |
| Dried Cadavaberries | 20 | 20 | 0.1 |
| Dried Dwellberries | 20 | 20 | 0.1 |
| Dried Redberries | 20 | 15 | 0.1 |
| Dried Giant Krill | 50 | 25 | 0.7 |
Four of the five weigh 0.1 and restore exactly 20 health. The consistency is the design — dried fruit is a uniform, lightweight, low-value food, and the only variable is sustenance.
Dried Giant Krill is the outlier on both counts, at 0.7 weight and 50 health — which makes it a different kind of item that happens to share the "Dried" prefix.
Dried Cadavaberries are a power level 4 food and can be cooked at either a campfire or grill, which is the same station requirement as the rest of the drying line — you do not need a range for them.
Twenty health is not a combat heal. For comparison, a Stuffed Catfish gives 200 — so dried fruit is not something you carry into a fight.
Best Ratios in the Game
| Food | Per unit of weight |
|---|---|
| Dried Peach | 250 |
| Dried Dwellberries / Cadavaberries | 200 |
| Dried Redberries | 150 |
| Meat Pizza | 157 |
| Stuffed Catfish | 114 |
| Roast Dinner | 40 |
A Dried Peach is more than six times as efficient as a Roast Dinner, per unit of weight carried.
Only the Meat Pizza competes, at 157 per unit — and it does so while carrying 90 health, which no dried food approaches. As our ratio guide covers, the pizza is the best all-round food in the game precisely because it wins on ratio without giving up healing.
What dried fruit wins on is absolute lightness. At 0.1 weight you can carry twenty Dried Peaches for 2.0 weight — the cost of a single Roast Dinner — for 500 sustenance against the roast's 80.
Which is the actual use case: long journeys. Not fights, not boss attempts, but the walk between regions where you need sustenance to keep ticking and cannot spare the carry weight.
What They Are Actually For
Carry dried fruit for the walk and fish for the fight. That is the whole strategy, and it follows directly from the numbers: 20 health is useless in combat, and 250 sustenance per kilogram is unbeatable on the road.
Drying berries feeds two systems. Dried Cadavaberries are the ingredient for the Cadavaberry Infusion, which as our infusions guide covers grants 900 seconds of Quenched — three times the Redberry version's 300. So drying cadavaberries is both a food and a drink project.
And that makes the Fellhollow berry the one worth farming. You get a 0.1-weight travel food and the longest-duration hydration infusion in the game from the same crop, which is growable in a farming plot.
Watch the range while drying, though. Drying is a cooking action, which means berries can burn — Burnt Cadavaberries, Burnt Dwellberries and Burnt Redberries all exist as items, and a burnt berry is 10 sustenance and no health.
Keep a stack of twenty in a side slot permanently. At 2.0 total weight it costs you one meal's worth of carry space and removes hunger as a consideration on any journey.
Practical tips
- Five dried foods; four weigh 0.1 and restore 20 health each.
- Dried Peach gives 250 sustenance per unit of weight — the best in the game.
- A Roast Dinner gives 40. Dried fruit is over six times as efficient.
- Twenty Dried Peaches weigh 2.0 and give 500 sustenance.
- Dried Giant Krill is the outlier — 0.7 weight, 50 health.
- 20 health is not a combat heal — carry fish for that.
- Dried Cadavaberries also make the 900-second Quenched infusion.
- Drying is cooking, so berries can burn — watch the range.

Conclusion
Dragonwilds' five dried foods are the most efficient travel items in the game. Four of them — Dried Peach, Dried Cadavaberries, Dried Dwellberries and Dried Redberries — weigh 0.1 each and restore 20 health, differing only in sustenance (25, 20, 20 and 15). That puts the Dried Peach at 250 sustenance per unit of weight, more than six times a Roast Dinner's 40, and lets you carry twenty of them for 2.0 weight and 500 sustenance. Dried Giant Krill is the outlier at 0.7 weight and 50 health. None of them is a combat item — 20 health is nothing next to a Stuffed Catfish's 200 — so the rule is dried fruit for the walk, fish for the fight. And Dried Cadavaberries earn their crop twice, since they are also the ingredient for the 900-second Quenched infusion. Just watch the range: drying is cooking, and berries burn.
