The Fresh Mutfruit is a consumable item in Fallout 4.

Background[edit]

Mutfruit or Malus maatta, is a mutated species of apple and crabapple.[1][Pub 1] The fruit can be found across the wasteland, such as in the former American Southwest, Washington, D.C., Boston, the Mojave Desert, and in Appalachia. Consumed as food by humans and ghouls, mutfruit can be used to create a variety of items ranging from omelets to Super Stimpaks.[2][3] There are several variants that can be found or grown after the war depending on geographical location, including irradiated, fresh, crunchy, and wild varieties.

Gameplay[edit]

Each piece of fresh mutfruit restores Hit Points without causing irradiation at the same time, unlike most common fruits. Fresh mutfruit is one of the few edible food items that are not irradiated, besides other fresh fruits or vegetables, cooked meat, and food found in a non-compromised vault.

Variants[edit]

Locations[edit]

It is first received from Dr. Penske in Vault 81.
