Food, in RuneScape, is what enables the player to regain life points, although some foods may have other effects as well. Food can be obtained through the Cooking skill, as a drop from certain monsters, from some random events such as the Sandwich Lady random event, from other players, or from non-player characters The highest healing food for non-members is an anchovy pizza, For members it is the Juju gumbo.
There are several kinds of food, such as fish and meat, bread, cakes, pies, and even pizza. Some foods, such as pies, cakes and pizzas, have two or more "bites" or "slices", this is a downside that can easily be remedied by using the food on a Cornucopia in battle (but it doesn't interrupt your attacks) then using it to heal your life points. There are also foods which grow from the ground such as potatoes, cabbages, and onions; those items can be put into baskets and sacks. There are also special foods such as spinach roll and baguette gained from random events. Lastly, there are holiday items food such as pumpkin and easter egg. It is strongly recommended that a player does not eat holiday items, as all are rare and extremely valuable.
Some foods have effect on skills other than life points. For example, wine makes your life points go up, though it has a downside. If a player drinks a jug of wine and then goes to the skills tab, it can be seen that the player's attack level temporarily decreases, while their strength level increases. The negative effects eventually wear off, though, and the affected stats go back to normal in time. Most such effects do not stack.

Notes
Here are factors to consider when choosing the right food:
- Heal per bite: Players should try to find food that heals more in one bite than the max hit of dangerous monsters they train on. This should not pose a problem for players who train on much weaker monsters than they are.
- Heal costs: Sharks are The time allocated for running scripts has expired. coins each and heal 200 life points. Monkfish heal 160 life points and cost The time allocated for running scripts has expired. coins, making them more cost effective, but the total amount of heal is less.
- Space: Some items require space, like baskets of strawberries to take out strawberries. Monsters drop items that requires space, so consider a monster's drops and frequency of drops when bringing food.
- Time to eat: Try to avoid eating during combat if it is not deadly. Eating in combat is wasteful if you get damaged while eating. Some areas have aggressive monsters that hit hard and foods that take multiple bites, like cake, cause problems.
Trivia
- Purple Sweets and Biscuits are the only stackable food in the game. They each heal 10-30 life points. Purple sweets restore 10% run energy per serving, and Biscuits restore 1 prayer point each.
- The mouse cursor for eating (after 2 September updates) represents a half-eaten apple, although you cannot eat apples in RuneScape (except rotten apples which do not heal anything).
- The animations for eating food were updated with the release of the Dungeoneering skill.
- In Daemonheim, it is possible to "feed" a fellow party member by using a piece of food on them, which makes them perform the eating animation and heal, using the food from your inventory. This is not possible outside of Daemonheim.
- On German servers, the old eating animation is still in effect.
- Most foods take 3 game ticks to eat; one exception is Purple sweets.
