Best crops to farm in Minecraft

#5 - Beetroots

While most players overlook them, beetroots are a wonderful source of food for many reasons.

Firstly, the raw beetroots can be eaten to restore one hunger point. When paired with a bowl, six beetroots can be used to craft beetroot soup, which restores six hunger points and 7.2 saturation.

#4 - Mushrooms

Mushrooms are a decent food source if the player does not have access to better crops.

Mushrooms can be used to craft multiple food items like mushroom stew, rabbit stew, and the different versions of suspicious stew. Suspicious stew restores six hunger points.

#3 - Potato

Potatoes are a great source of food in Minecraft as they provide a decent amount of hunger and saturation.

The only downside is that players must smelt them in a furnace or smoker to obtain a baked potato. This requires fuel, which may not be feasible for some players.

#2 - Wheat

Wheat is one of the best crops to farm in Minecraft. It has a slight edge over potatoes due to the fact that players are not required to use fuel to get its full effects.

Players only require three pieces of wheat to craft a piece of bread.

#1 - Carrot

Carrots are one of the best crops in Minecraft. They do not require a seed to grow, which saves the players' inventory space.

Additionally, carrots can be turned into golden carrots, which provide the second-most saturation in the game.
