How to Eat Fruit & What It Does in Animal Crossing New Horizons
Eating fruit can be done by simply opening up your inventory with the X button, scrolling over and highlighting the fruit. After you select the fruit you’ll have a few different options but the one you’re going to want to click on is ‘eat.’
After eating the fruit you’ll notice a gauge in the top left corner that says 1/10 and will continue to increase every time you eat. This gauge is your energy level and can be increased by one every time you consume a piece of fruit.
Energy is extremely useful because it is the only way to break rocks or dig up trees. In order to use your energy all you have to do is go up to a rock and hit it with an axe, which will break the rock and expend one energy.
Breaking rocks is an extremely useful thing to do as some crafting materials can only be found from breaking rocks. Be sure to always have some fruit on hand if you expend all of your energy.
The same goes for trees. If you go up to a tree with a shovel and dig it up, it will expend one energy. It’s important to note that you can do other activities without energy such as shaking trees, chopping wood, and fishing.
Time needed: 1 minute
