Description BITTERROOT SAFEA
Bitterroot is a starchy root vegetable. When raw it is extremely bitter and can cause allergic reactions such as hives, swollen tongue/throat, and red flecked eyes. Even small bits of it is toxic to humans. Reactions range from mild to severe.
When cooked with vinegar it is safe upon consumption. Most of its harsh flavours are cooked out of it and its left with a sweet undertone (because of the starch) with a very mild bitter aftertaste similar to that of cooked spinach after the vinegar is removed. The root itself has many uses, aside from forming the staple for a lot of diets because of its versatility, it has a lot of medical possibilities. The zest of the root is used to make bitterroot vinegar, which has many many health benefits. It restores hair, skin, and is very good for bones and libido. It has a multitude of other uses, but it is still undergoing lots more testing. 

Other species:   Plant/Creature/Resource List Ideas for PlanetsAlso feel free to add some ideas, especially for plant life. There's going to be a LOT of plants in this game.
Plant/Creature/Resource Ideas:

ICECLOUD PLANT
-The Icecloud plant looks like clouds/cotton, but it is very cold to the touch. It thrives on the Ice planet underground. The inside of the plant is actually warm, it’s the outside of the plant that keeps the heat in. Small crystals often form in the cotton.
-The texture is very fibrous, and impossible in its natural state for the body to digest. However it has a sweet, vanilla-like taste, and a pleasant smell.
-Uses:
Primary use: Clothing. Very warm as it keeps the heat in and the cold out. It is also good insulating material for housing, etc. They like to stuff it inside of pillows, blankets, coats, etc, or knit it like wool into things like mittens, scarves, sweaters, etc.
-Secondary Uses:
 -Icecloud Extract can be added to food to enhance flavour. It is like vanilla extract but milder and sweeter
