Raw fruit and vegetables are the cheapest food in Skyrim. Eaten on their own they barely restore anything – 1 or 2 Health each – but almost every soup and stew starts with them, so they are worth picking up for the cooking pot rather than for eating raw.

Notes per item
- Cabbage – the base of Cabbage Soup, Cabbage Potato Soup and Apple Cabbage Stew, and one of four vegetables in Vegetable Soup.
- Carrot – goes into Beef Stew, the dish that raises maximum Stamina for twelve minutes.
- Gourd and Green Apple – no cooking-pot recipe in the base list uses them, so they are mainly snacks.
- Red Apple – needed for Apple Cabbage Stew.
- Leek – used in Cabbage Potato Soup, Tomato Soup, Vegetable Soup and Venison Stew.
- Potato – the most versatile item here: Potato Soup, Clam Chowder, Cabbage Potato Soup, Vegetable Soup and Venison Stew all call for one.
- Tomato – used in Tomato Soup, Vegetable Soup and Horker Stew. At 4 gold it is the priciest vegetable on the list.
- Ash Yam (Dragonborn) – cooked with Garlic and horker meat into Horker and Ash Yam Stew. Look for it in the burial urns of Raven Rock, growing in the ash fields of Solstheim and at Old Attius Farm. Geldis Sadri and Garyn Ienth sell it. In Morrowind it was an alchemy ingredient; on Solstheim it is plain food.
Most of these recipes also need a Salt Pile, so stock up on salt alongside your vegetables. For other raw supplies see Raw Meat and Cheese, Dairy and Baking Supplies.
