Dried Kelp at a glance

Smelting (Furnace, Smoker, Campfire) gives you Dried Kelp, a food item filed under Food. Carrying Dried Kelp is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest. On the hunger bar Dried Kelp fills 0.5 drumsticks, 1 points, with 0.6 saturation behind it.

Eating Dried Kelp puts 1 hunger and 0.6 saturation back on the clock, and while the hunger number fills the bar in front of you, the saturation is what keeps it working for you long afterwards. It additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Dried Kelp Block. It sits between Cookie and Enchanted Golden Apple in Food, number 16 of 37 there.
