Quick answers

What is the best food in Valheim?

For health it’s Meat In Bread (110), Seal Meat Soup (110), Piquant Pie (105); for eitr, Fish Soup (105), Oven Pancake (105), Meatballs and Poteitr (105). What’s best depends on how far you are: pick your stage above and the planner shows the best three you can make by then.

How does food work in Valheim?

You can eat three different foods at once. Each adds health, stamina and sometimes eitr to your 25 base health, and heals you a few points every 10 seconds. As a food runs out its numbers fade, slowly at first and fast near the end (the game uses time left to the power of 0.3), and you can eat it again once half its time is gone.

Can you eat the same food twice in Valheim?

No. The three foods must be different; eating one you already have only refreshes it, and only after half its time has passed.

Do meads count as food?

No, meads don’t take a food slot. Healing meads heal over a few seconds; Lingering Healing Mead makes your food heal 25% more for 5 minutes, and Tasty Mead halves it while doubling stamina regeneration. Pick one in the planner to see its effect on healing.

What are feasts?

Feasts are crafted at the Food Preparation Table and placed with the Serving Tray; everyone can eat from them. They give equal health and stamina and last 50 minutes. Tick “Include feasts” to add them to the combos.

Which version of Valheim is this for?

Valheim 1.0.17. The food numbers come from the game files, and the fade formula from the game’s own code.
