Stardew Valley | What foods give you the most energy

The game’s cooking system allows you to prepare recipes. And some of them increase your maximum energy.Every RPG or game with role-playing elements worth its salt has a cooking or recipe system that allows us to prepare different foods that have an effect on our characters. Stardew Valley is no exception and, logically, there are infinite possible combinations. But… have you ever wondered what the best dishes are ? Without going any further, in this guide we compile the meals that will increase your maximum energy the most .

Cooking in Stardew Valley and how it works

The game’s cooking system is a mechanic that will only be available to us once we have upgraded the Cottage for the first time . This will add a kitchen with an oven and a fridge to the cottage. While the former will allow us to prepare recipes, the fridge will be like a chest to store the ingredients we will use in those recipes (with 36 slots). If an ingredient is not in the fridge, we will not be able to use it.

Likewise, if the player is able to reach level 9 of Gathering , they will be able to start using a portable cooking kit that will allow us to take the recipes anywhere. In any case, we will not be able to cook a recipe if we have not learned it before. Finally, keep in mind that everything we cook with Qi Seasoning , which can be purchased in Mr. Qi’s Nut Room, will increase the benefits of that food and its bonuses (in addition to the price).

Energy in Stardew Valley meals

Now, let’s get to what concerns us today: the possibility of increasing our energy by eating recipes. First of all, we have to differentiate the energy recovered by consuming the food, which is not what interests us today, from the maximum energy bonus that some foods will give us. The latter is a temporary bonus, which will give us a higher maximum energy for a limited time, which will allow us to last a little longer that day.

Foods that increase maximum energy the most in Stardew Valley

Now, to finish, we compile which recipes will provide a higher maximum energy charge to our character. In addition, we provide you with additional information , such as the ingredients needed to carry them out, how to learn the recipe or how long the beneficial state lasts:
