Highlights

  • Food in Palworld is important for both the player's character and their Pals, providing nutrition and restoring sanity.
  • Different foods have varying levels of nutrition and sanity restoration, with cooked meals being more beneficial than raw ingredients.
  • Some of the best food options in Palworld include Mozzarina Cheeseburger, Rushoar Bacon 'n' Eggs, and Pizza, each with their own unique ingredients and benefits.

Food in Palworld is not only eaten by the player's character but should also be made accessible to their Pals; both those in the player's party on adventures with them and those working hard at base. On top of nutrition, food also restores sanity for pals, something they lose when overworked.

Palworld: Great Pals for Farming

Farming is one of the most important factors in building a strong base in Palworld. Here are five great Pals with exceptional farming skills.

However, not all food is created equally, with certain foods restoring much more nutrition, which the biggest and most hungry Pals will need. For example, cooked food and full-on meals provide more nutrition and sanity than raw ingredients. Meals can be cooked at a campfire, cooking pot, or electric kitchen with Palworld's best food only available at the more advanced cooking stations. Food for workers should be placed inside food containers on the base, and for Pals in the party, they will eat anything assigned to food bag slots.

Ingredients

20

Mozzarina Meat (1), Flour (1), Lettuce (2)

Although the Mozzarina Hamburger doesn't provide as much nutrition as the Mozzarina Cheeseburger, it only requires one Mozzarina Meat, rather than two, and no Milk is needed either.

Players will, however, need to get their hands on two Lettuce and the easiest way to do this is to set up a farm at the base after finding Lettuce Seeds. These seeds are dropped by Cinnamoths, Bristlas, Wumpo Botans, and Broncherry Aquas, or can be purchased from a merchant at Fisherman's Point. Lettuce can also be used to make Salad, which some vegetarian players may prefer to eat.

Rushroar Pork (2), Egg (2)

One of the best meals in Palworld, especially because of how easy the ingredients are to acquire, is Rushoar Bacon 'n' Eggs. Rushoars are fairly common Pals and very easy to kill, meaning players can go around picking up plenty of their meat.

Palworld: The Best Early-Game Pal Companions

Palworld is a survival open-world game, and these accessible Pals will improve a tamer's life expectancy during their early hours.

This meat can then be cooked with Eggs, which are laid by Chikipis in great quantity at the Ranch from very early on in the game. If players stock up on Rushoar Bacon 'n' Eggs and place them in a feed bag, neither they nor their Pals will ever go hungry.

4 Pizza

Ingredients

23

Flour (1), Red Berries (2), Tomato (2), Milk (2)

For a healthy mix of nutrition and sanity, players will want to start making pizzas as soon as possible. With 184 nutrition per pizza, players and Pals alike won't need much more food to see them through the day. The 23 sanity they restore to Pals isn't that surprising given how delicious pizzas are.

The first two ingredients are also fairly easy to come by, with Flour being produced at your base and Red Berries available everywhere. To get milk, however, players will need a Mozzarina in their Ranch. Tomato seeds can be looted from a few Pals such as Broncherry, Dinnosom Lux, Mossanda, Vaelet, and Wumpo Botan.

3 Mammorest Steak

Mammorest Meat

If players are only interested in nutrition and not sanity, then Mammorest Steak is a great option with a whopping 252 nutrition. Best of all, players need no more ingredients than Mammorest Meat, and once players have a few good Fire Pals, these grassy giants aren't that hard to take down.

Similar alternatives to this form of cooked meat are Broncherry Rib Roast and Roast Reindrix, although these Pals are slightly less common, making their meats less accessible.

2 Mozzarina Cheeseburger

For both players and Pals to eat, the Mozzarina Cheeseburger is the best food in Palworld thanks to the 288 nutrition it restores. It also restores 36 sanity to Pals who are suffering from bad working conditions or who might even be depressed.

Palworld: Best Locations For Catching Electric Pals

Players on the hunt for electric Pals in Palworld should focus on the following locations.

For the key ingredient of these burgers, Mozzarina Meat and Milk, players will want to catch a Mozzarina and set it to work on their ranch. They are the only Pals that can produce Milk, which happens to be required for several other meals.

1 Cake

Palworld Food Cake

Nutrition

Sanity

Ingredients

656

82

Flour (5), Red Berries (8), Milk (7), Egg (8), Honey (2)

Cake is a special type of food in Palworld as it not only has by far the highest nutrition and sanity, but it is also the only item that enables Pals to breed and successfully lay eggs. Despite its high food values, players will likely only want to use it for breeding as cake takes an incredibly long time to make, and uses lots of ingredients too. This makes it inefficient for satisfying hunger.

Once players have finished making their cake, they should put it in the chest inside the breeding pen, where it can be consumed by the soon-to-be parents. In the event that a particularly good worker is very low on sanity, players could consider feeding them a cake to almost instantly restore their happiness.
