Fruits

Name	Season	Location	Information
Apfelsige	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Apfelsige (フェリジーネ, ferijiine) is a summer fruit that can be used for sweets. It is similar to a citrus fruit. Due to its similarity to a citrus fruit, Myne suggested using its peel for rinsham. When squeezed it produces a pink fruit juice that can be drunk as a refreshing beverage without needing any additional ingredients or dilution with water.
Birne			Birne (ビルネ, birune) is a fruit that can be used to make pies.
Blenrus Fruit	Spring Early Summer	Haldenzel	Blenrus trees bear golden fruits that taste sweet and are rich in mana. They are high-quality ingredients for rejuvenation potions and have a very high value. People from Haldenzel are forbidden from sharing them with outsiders without the permission of the giebe.
Edile		Ehrenfest Central District	Edile (エディル, ediru) is a type of fruit found in Ehrenfest that produces a sticky juice. Ediles are used in the papermaking process at the Rozemyne Workshop, where it serves as a base to create the tororo. In winter, commoners use edile fruit juice to soak rags and block gaps in windows.
Fallold	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Fallold (コルデ, korude) is a normally sweet fruit that looks like a raspberry, but tastes different. It is sour when harvested too early in the season. It can be made into a drink by thinning its juice with water and optionally adding honey to make it sweeter.
Kran	Autumn	Ehrenfest Central District	Krans (クラン, kuran) are a sour fruit that can be cooked into jam.
Meryl	Summer Autumn	Ehrenfest Central District	Meryls (メリル, meriru) are an avocado-like fruit. Myne uses the vegetable oil to make rinsham, but it is commonly used to cook.
Parue	Winter	Ehrenfest Central District	Parue (パルゥ, paruu) is the fruit of a feyplant that grows from trees only in winter mornings. The tree is almost transparent, looking like it is made out of ice. They are gathered by melting the branch the fruit is attached to. Since parue trees magically smother any fire in their direct vicinity, this has to be done with body heat. Parue fruits are drained of their sweet juice, which is used as a drink and pressed for their oil to be used for cooking. The dry remnants are then used as animal feed. Not only do the chickens appear to love the taste of the parue leftovers, the eggs layed by such fed chicken also taste better than normal. Myne discovers that this parue pulp resembles okara (soy pulp) and can be used as a base for various recipes, including parue cakes and parue-burgers. Parue Oil also has characteristics that make it well suited for mixing coloured plant-paper ink, but it only being obtainable in very small amounts under specific weather conditions in winter makes it a less than ideal option for mass production. Once the fruits or raw oil are exposed to anything other than freezing temperatures they spoil very quickly, making it effectively impossible for commoners to store them outside of winter and the earliest spring. However the ice-room of the temple that is kept at sub-zero temperatures with the use of magic tools is capable of storing parues at least partway through the year.
Pome	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Pome (ポメ, pome) are a fruit that look like yellow bell peppers, but taste like tomatoes. Myne uses them in many of her recipes.
Prehre	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Prehre (ブラーレ, buraare) are peach-like fruits. They come into season shortly after rutrebs and can be used as an ingredient in rumtopf.
Prunbeer	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Prunbeers (プヒュル, puhyuru) are fruits that come into season shortly after rutrebs and can be used as an ingredient in rumtopf.
Rafel	Autumn	Ehrenfest Central District	Rafel (ラッフェル, rafferu) is an autumn fruit that grows on trees It looks similar to a ranshel, but is more sour and chewy. Cut rafels dipped in honey are a winter dessert. Rafels symbolize romantic love. Rozemyne described rafels as something partway between an apple and a pear.
Ranshel	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Ranshel (ランシェル, ransheru) are fruits that are tasty and easy to eat. They have a core which is normally not eaten.
Rio	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Rio (リオ, rio) is a fruit from Central Ehrenfest that produces oil. Rio oil can be used as an ingredient for rinsham and in making ink.

Rutreb	Summer	Ehrenfest Central District	Rutrebs (ルトレーベ, rutoreebe) are a summer fruit loved by shumils. It has red juice and resembles strawberries.
Taue	Spring Summer Autumn	Ehrenfest Central District	Taue (タウ, tau) are tasteless, water-filled red fruit that grow from spring until autumn. They are at their largest size at the height of summer, at which time commoners in Ehrenfest collect them for the Star Festival. The friends and neighbors of the married couples throw taue at the newlyweds as they leave the temple. Myne discovers that taue can germinate into the feyplant trombe when exposed to mana. The pomegranate-like fruit develops a rough texture, then suddenly explodes and scatters its seeds in a small radius. Seeds that land in soil immediately start to sprout as trombes. Myne secretly uses this method to get material for trombe paper and to drain mana from Dirk to treat his Devouring.
Trauperle	Autumn	Illgner	Trauperle (トラオペルレ, toraoperure) is a white fruit that grows in Illgner. Too bitter to serve as food, its sticky juice is used as glue by the locals. It grows at the start of autumn. It is also used as a component in specialized kinds of plant paper produced by the Rozemyne Workshop. Trauperle paper is unusually silky smooth and dries in less than two bells time. It keeps its shape very well when bent, making it ideally suited for making playing cards.

Negarosh			Negarosh becomes a strong irritant when ground into a fine powder. Getting even small amounts of the powder into your eyes will cause pain and uncontrollable weeping. Breathing it in through the nose will cause pain, itching and gushing out of large amounts of snot. If the substance reaches the throat and lungs, it will cause severe burning and stinging sensations and depending on the individual constitution may lead to light fevers and loss of feeling in the limbs. The moment the powder is washed away the negative effects stop. Even when the powder has been breathed in, the effects will only last for a relatively short time with no chance of permanent harm being done. As such it is a good way to temporarily suppress and disrupt opponents. It is currently not known whether Negarosh is a common or feyplant.

Turm		Ehrenfest Central District	Turm is a flower or nut which produces an oil that hardens when exposed to air, making it a suitable ingredient for ink. It tends to produce pastel-colored ink no mater what pigment is used, a result which is presumably related to its elemental attributes.
