Analysis
Insect jelly does not spoil, it only deteriorates with exposure to the elements, and provides roughly 8% recreation of the Gluttonous type per consumption, so its also a good emergency food supply to break out when times are tough and mood is at risk due to lack of recreation time, however its low nutritional value makes it a poor choice for actual sustenance. It is especially good for caravans as they can't get recreation while moving otherwise, and only slowly get social recreation when stopped. It has a 2% food poisoning chance. In this role is is comparable to Chocolate which provides 10% Gluttonous recreation and 0.1 nutrition. Statistically, chocolate is superior in terms of nutrition and recreation provided and the lack of food poisoning risk is especially helpful, however Insect Jelly requires no research to acquire and is often acquired in large amounts from threats that would arise regardless. Chocolate must be researched and farmed. Additionally, insect jelly is also 1/3 the weight of chocolate and sells for more, giving it advantages as a buffer product in caravans as it occupies less weight for trade goods and is worth more in the event that it must be sold to make up the value in a trade. Chocolate can be produced at will, on maps without mountains, and without fighting an infestation. Which is preferable will depend on the circumstances of each individual colony, as well as player preference.
Its also a decent trade good, separate to its use by the caravan itself, as it is valuable, light and it is easy to get a lot of it when facing late game infestations, or can even be farmed.
It is currently unknown if using it in cooking maintains the recreation boost.
