Weapons and armor aren’t the only things that changed when Valheim turned a year old as the food system in Valheim was given a massive overhaul and new food items were introduced to change how the game was approached. It used to be that certain food when consumed together complement each other too well as the stats they give make it too powerful as they just allow you to easily survive the game or have less to worry about when you get certain food items, but with the blocking and parrying mechanic being a mix of health and stamina, you can’t just go in and chomp down all the health-based foods and call it a day, which is why this list will show you the all-round best food items you should get in the game
As a quick side note, like all the Valheim patches before it, you can eat 3 distinct food items at the same time so this is more of an overview of each food source and what they offer, individually. While there are many delicious choices in the game, not all meals are created equal, and what better way to do that than to give you a huge platter of information through this list.
As with the other Valheim guides, this was written on its current patch (version 0.207.20) and is based on my experience in completing the game with a few friends. The list is also based on how attainable the food is and the ease of getting it, so some food items on this list may not be the best stat-wise, but better on their own merits. The list also spread from early to late game, meaning some food items that are not on the list may be omitted or referenced. Videos shown will cover the main ingredient of the designated food source as not all food items crafted are shown step-by-step.
