Lembas
the waybread of the Elves; the gift that sustained the journey
The Bread
Lembas is the waybread of the Elves, a small pallid cake made of the meal of the Elves, sweet and sustaining; a little of it feeds a man for a day of walking, and its virtue is that the eater should not seek more of food in a single morsel.
In the Quest
Galadriel gave a store of lembas to the Company at the parting from Lórien, and it bore Frodo and Samwise through the waste toward Mount Doom, and on the last road was the strength of the Ring-bearers when all other food failed.
