== Description ==
Yellats are crunchy<ref name="4.00">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/06/4-00-k/ Chapter 4.00 K]</ref><ref name="4.12">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/02/13/4-12/ Chapter 4.12]</ref> or stringy<ref name="Interlude-flos" /> vegetables, with the appearance of orange broccoli and the texture of a sweet potato. They have a mild aroma, but are spicy to the taste. They have wiry, deep, leafy green stalks which are inedible. They grow less soft in water than a potato. Yellats make for filling meals, but are considered a poor man's food on Chandrar, not fit for [[nobility]].<ref name="Interlude-flos" />

Unripe Yellats are blue.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/23/4-05-k/ Chapter 4.05 K]</ref> When ripe, Yellats can be red<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/06/6-05-d/ Chapter 6.05 D]</ref> or orange.<ref name="4.00" /> 

== Overview ==
Yellats are a cheap food staple. They are hardy plants that can survive in poor soil, dry spells, and heat that would kill potatoes or other vegetables, and only need to be watered once a week.<ref name="Interlude-flos" /><ref>[[Interlude – Foody Discussions|Interlude - Foody Discussions]]</ref>  As such, they are a staple crop in many Chandarian nations. However, they do not fare well in humid climates.<ref>[[Interlude – Stories|Interlude - Stories]]</ref>Yellats will shed layers of skin and refine with time. ''Su-yellats'' are a magical variety that grows from a normal Yellat. In a rare event, Yellats can move or run about when magic seeps into them.<ref>[[Chapter 8.37 H]]</ref> Yellats become magical when they reach around sixty years of age, though most will be dug up by monsters at this stage.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/04/interlude-trade-and-travel/ Interlude - Trade and Travel]</ref> 

Some countries like [[Reim]] and [[Germina]] have hard times growing any other crops.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/30/6-12-k/ Chapter 6.12 K]</ref> Aside from Chandrar, Yellats are also available in southeastern [[Baleros]] and central [[Izril]].
