Lembas bread, also known as Elven bread or Waybread, is a special type of bread or cake made by the Elves in J.R.R. Tolkiens books, particularly in The Lord of the Rings series. It is described as being pocket-sized, exceedingly nutritious, and staying fresh for months when wrapped in leaves. It is a type of superfood carried along on long journeys, and one small bite is said to fill the stomach of a grown man. Lembas bread is modeled after hardtack bread of a higher quality, and it is shaped into thin cakes. It is a fictional food, but some people have created recipes for it based on the descriptions in the books. The recipes vary, but they generally include ingredients such as flour, honey, nuts, and dried fruit.
