How much does food heal by?

[Bryal]

I can see first time bonuses clearly but does it show how much that food heals you for? What am I missing and what's some of the best cost effective foods to craft for healing reserves?

The only way to really see how much they heal is to take a bunch of damage, and then hover over each food item in your inventory. There will be a green area on your health bar showing how much they'll heal.

The ones that heal the most are the two steaks.

Most of the food items are pretty crap for recovery, honestly. >.>

One thing you can do is equip the Unicorn Ring (+20% healing from items) while you're paused and THEN use some food items to try to make them a bit better. getting +20 more health from Fried Fish isn't a huge increase but it's something.

That's what I was afraid of! It seems like a missed detail not to include the numbers (especially after eating it once already) when the game is so thorough on everything else.

Here's hoping it'll be patched in

Yeah but food can be stacked up to 99 and not only 9-5-3, you can carry a lot more heals with food than potions, especially if youre doing a fresh nightmare run and need recovery for a though boss

You can see how much an item has healed you for after using it, quitting out of the menu into the game, there should be a green number on top of Miriam's head indicating how much you just healed.

My question is what is making you heal so much. Might be better to invest in a better strategy/cheese if you are farming.

I really wish it told you how much it healed you for, yeah. And I say this as a guy obsessed with snack time so loaded with plenty of spare pizzas and fruit smoothies anyways.
