Overview
Dried Kelp is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through smelting (Furnace, Smoker, Campfire). A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Dried Kelp. Eating it restores 1 hunger (0.5 drumsticks) and 0.6 saturation points. This item was added to the game in version 1.13.
In this database, Dried Kelp sits alongside 36 other Food entries, each with its own page. Restoring 1 hunger and 0.6 saturation, Dried Kelp keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again. Dried Kelp additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Dried Kelp Block.
