New crops.

[KitsuneG]

There were plenty of crops suggested. I know the point about new world crops.
So I do some investigations and found few might be interesting and were not suggested before.


1. Mint/peppermint

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint

Well it should be in-game for sure.
Another source of salad greens - might be charisma variations.
Of course some special recipes or even new type of tea, that buffs currently intact satiations.
Also extremely good for honeyproduction.

2. Lentil

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lentil

Its not common in ancient Europe, but its pretty usual from middle ages to present days.
Could be a new source of flour.

3. Saffron

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron

Mostly Asian flower, but same as tobacco in 1550, saffron was extremely popular and people cultivated it everywhere in the world.
My opinion it should be another source of food buff, maybe even same as pepper - just divide: cheeses no longer can be peppered(actually who the fk in the world do that?) but could use saffron, and baked goods can't be saffroned.

4.Panicum

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proso_millet

The father or mother of barley and wheat, but tastes like shit. Gives more straw, and a little seeds(compare to wheat).
The most ancient known source of flour. It definitely should be will variations as flour used.

mint should be foragable and in garden pots imo
lentil is similiar to peas so i vote for a variation of peas or beans just no trellis
am indifferent to saffron and panicum. but more flowers are never bad

Can think of several cheeses that are peppered, either during the molding process, or after aging.. and by "peppered" that can be any kind of pepper, be it peppercorns (ground or whole) or hot peppers (Monterrey Jack is a popular cheese that gets minced jalapenos added before aging).

And can think of several baked goods that use saffron.

Wouldn't mind some spices. Thanks!
