Minecraft Food Tier List

Food has been in Minecraft since the game's original release. Throughout the years, there has been a variety of new food added, particularly when new updates come out. With the vast selection of food to choose from now, many players want to know which food is best to eat when your character is hungry or hurt. There have been many lists made that have ranked food, but not many people know that there is an official list!

According to the Official Minecraft Wiki, the best way to tier food in Minecraft is by its Saturation Ratio, which is the amount of Saturation the food restores divided by the amount of Hunger it restores. This makes the list a little more fair than simply sorting the tiers by how much Hunger the food restores. The higher the Saturation, the more effective the food is at keeping your character's Hunger Bar Full!

Here is the list provided by the Wiki:

Tier	Saturation Ratio	Foods
Supernatural	2.4	Golden Apple Golden Carrot Enchanted Golden Apple
Good	1.6	Cooked Mutton Cooked Steak Cooked Salmon Cooked Porkchop
Normal	1.2	Baked PotatoBeetroot Beetroot Stew Bread Carrot Cooked Chicken Cooked Cod Cooked Rabbit Mushroom Stew Rabbit Stew Suspicious Stew
Low	0.6	Apple Chorus Fruit Dried Kelp (Java) Melon Slice Poisonous PotatoPotato Pumpkin Pie Raw Steak Raw Chicken Raw Mutton Raw Porkchop Raw Rabbit Sweet Berry (Bedrock)
Poor	0.2	Cake Cookie Dried Kelp (Bedrock) Glow Berries Honey Bottle Pufferfish Tropical Fish Raw Cod Raw Salmon Rotten Flesh Spider Eye Sweet Berry (Java)

Since Saturation Ratio considers both Hunger bars filled and Saturation filled by each food, it's best to use this chart when trying determine which food is best to farm. It may be faster to get a single apple for four Hunger Bars, but if you eat four Beetroots instead (at one Hunger bar each), your Saturation is much higher!
