Spider Eye at a glance
Killing spiders and cave spiders, killing witches, and looting witch huts give you Spider Eye, a food item filed under Food. A slot of Spider Eye holds 64, nine slots hold 576, and 1728 fill a chest. It is worth 2 hunger and 3.2 saturation, which reads as 1 drumstick.
Restoring 2 hunger and 3.2 saturation, Spider Eye keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue, and the 3.2 is the part that decides how long it takes before you reach for Spider Eye again. It additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Fermented Spider Eye. Generated chests only ever hold Spider Eye in one place: desert pyramid chests (about 27%, 1 to 3 at a time). It sits between Rotten Flesh and Suspicious Stew in Food, number 34 of 37 there.

Mobs that drop it
3 different mobs drop Spider Eye, Witch, Cave Spider, and Spider, and Witch leaves 0 to 2 a kill. Looting III turns Witch into 5 Spider Eye instead of 2, 1 per level.
Eating
10 helpings clear an empty hunger bar, at 1.6 seconds each, which is 16 seconds before Spider Eye has done the job. The saturation behind each point is 1.6, so Spider Eye holds the bar steady that much longer after the meal. That is 18 of 37 on saturation, between Carrot at 3.6 and Cake at 2.8. Eating Spider Eye also hands you Poison for 5 seconds.
Notes
Eating applies Poison IV for 4 seconds. Used to brew Potions of Poison and to craft fermented spider eyes.
