===Brittany's Comments===

" ''A little sweet, a little sour, but mostly just bitter. Alph can't cope with the bitterness and asked me to sweeten it somehow, but I have to say it's growing on me. Maybe it's one of those refined tastes he'll learn to like when he gets older?''"

==How to Obtain==

<span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">To find the first Astringent Clump, you must go to the area within the [[Garden of Hope]] where you first found a [[Zest Bomb]]. Tear down the Electric Gate blocking the way. There is a puzzle which includes the </span><span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">[[Elevator Platforms]] to get to the Zest Bomb. There is also a [[Secret Memos|Secret Memo]] </span><span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">atop one of the elevators pas</span><span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">t the gate. The Astringent Clump takes 10 [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]] to carry, and has a </span><span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">maximum carry weight of 20 </span>[[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]]<span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">.</span> Althought the player is intended to use this puzzle, it can be completely bypassed by targeting the fruit from the ground and swarming it with [[Winged Pikmin]].

<span style="font-size:13px;line-height:21px;">The other is found in the Distant Tundra, inside of the cave that leads to the outside where [[Charlie]] first crash landed. To get to it, you need to open up a Bamboo Gate using [[Winged Pikmin]]. Red, Winged, and Rock Pikmin are recommended for this area, as there are multiple fire hazards, including [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and Fire Geysers. There is also a [[Spotty Bulbear]] patroling the room past the Bamboo Gate, with some [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s following close behind it. At the end of the room is a Crystal Wall, which can be smashed using Rock Pikmin.  Next to it, on a ledge, is the Astringent Clump, which is slightly buried. Behind the Crystal Wall will be some [[Bomb Rock]]s, which can be used to take out enemies in the room. Kill the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and take the fruit back to the [[Drake]].</span>
