Information

10

Bass

12

92

Bass is a great food for low to mid-level players when facing mid-level bosses where it is unnecessary to buy the more expensive high-level food. It is cheap and can be cooked at a relatively lower cooking requirement of 43. 

9

Monkfish

16

428

Monkfish is also a good alternative to the cooked karambwan as it is relatively cheaper. If you’d prefer to catch them yourself, the Swan song must be completed, but it is not a requirement to cook them.

8

Potato with cheese

16

215

This is a popular food choice among mid-level players since it is cheap and easily purchased from the Warrior Guild. It is the most cost-effective food to use since it has such a low price for the HP it heals.

7

Cooked Karambwan

18

573

Karambwans are not only cost-effective, but they allow players to tick eat, which is quite important in PvP and PvM situations where the delay would be dangerous. It is usually eaten after a standard food in the same 3-tick window

6

Shark

20

1,031

Sharks are commonly used medium-level players in PvM. Although they are great to use, they can’t over-heal or allow you tick eat like with Karambwans.

5

Sea turtle

21

1,071

Although Sea turtles might seem like they are better than Sharks since they weigh less, it’s hard to buy them as they are not always available on grand exchange. 

4

Manta ray

22

1,657

Manta ray is the highest healing food in the game, along with the Dark Crab, Anglerfish, and Tuna Potato. Although it does heal the player more than their HP,  like the Anglersfish, it is slightly lower in weight.

3

Tuna Potato

22

1,460

The Tuna Potato has the lowest cooking requirement of the 4 best foods, but has the highest weight.

2

Dark crab

22

1,404

The Dark Crab has the lowest weight of the 4 best healing foods and can be considered the best food in the game only in scenarios where tick eating or over-heal won’t make much difference.

1

Anglerfish

3 to 22

1,718

Anglerfish has a special ability where it heals the players past their HP. At 93 hitpoints, the Anglersfish is one of the highest healing foods in the game, healing up to 22.

Salmon

68

Salmon is a great food for F2P. They are cheap and are one of few foods that can be cooked with a reduced burn rate while using the Lumbrigde Castle range with Cook’s Assistant completed.

6

Tuna

10

94

Tuna is one of the most cost-effective foods in F2P, which also heals quite well.

5

Jug of wine

11

4

Although they are quite cheap, they temporarily lower the player's attack by 2 and leave behind an empty jug after consumption. It can be obtained by using grapes with a jug of water.

4

Stew

11

69

These are also quite cheap, but they leave behind an empty bowl after consumption.

3

Lobster

12

175

Lobster is one of the best foods in F2P. Although Swordfish heals better, catching Lobsters gives decent fishing XP, so you can cook them after and use them as food.

2

Swordfish

14

163

Swordfish is the best food and the fastest way to gain health in F2P, granting 2 more hitpoints than lobsters

1

Anchovy Pizza

9 x 2

696

Anchovy pizza contains 2 bites, each healing 9. It is the highest healing food per slot in F2P and is a type of fast food. Players can spam eat with this food by spam-clicking full pizzas.
