Greatly valued in the Shire, this herb strengthened and fortified the digestive system, allowing those who took it to consume great quantities of food and alcohol without suffering gastric distress or becoming ill. The Brandybucks gathered it for sale across the Shire, though the daunting prospect of entering the Old Forest prevented this trade from becoming too widespread. Still, young, adventurous Hobbits had been known to brave the forest to gather eater’s leaf on a dare.

| - Greatly valued in the Shire, this herb strengthened and fortified the digestive system, allowing those who took it to consume great quantities of food and alcohol without suffering gastric distress or becoming ill. The Brandybucks gathered it for sale across the Shire, though the daunting prospect of entering the Old Forest prevented this trade from becoming too widespread. Still, young, adventurous Hobbits had been known to brave the forest to gather eater’s leaf on a dare. Effect: Consuming this leaf prior to a meal protected the digestive system from distress and the (unpleasant) effects of alcohol. Additionally— although the Hobbits did not realise it—eater’s leaf enhanced Stamina against any poison for four hours after it was consumed.
