Providing health regeneration over time (with sweet berries also giving swiftness and tropical fish restoring a player's oxygen by 10%), food items are admittedly not as great at healing as other sources, but they can be helpful in a pinch.

In most situations, players will find food items from defeating enemy mobs, killing animals, and looting chests within a given level. Certain levels provide different foods, and the common enchantment Food Reserves will also create food items any time the player uses a healing potion.

By examining the overall stats of each food item in Minecraft Dungeons, the top picks include pork chops, bread, and chorus fruit.

Pork chops work quite quickly and restore half of a player's total health, meaning two chops will heal them in short order. One piece of bread is enough to restore a player's entire health total, but will take slightly longer over the course of 30 seconds.

Chorus fruits were introduced in the Echoing Void DLC, and although their regeneration time is short, it restores for a third of a hero's health, meaning a few chorus fruits can quickly top off the player's health total.
