The best food is actually the Nutrient Block. However since it's pretty rare, so the next best thing is a Cooked/Cured Reginald at +44 Nutrition. Cured however has a H20 penalty, but if you have a couple of Water Filter machines which produce Big Filtered waters, you're golden.

Marblemelons are the best food you can grow, however they take up 4 spaces of inventory space each and go off over time, so they're not a practical food source for long trips away from your base. Great if you have a Cyclops with a growbed however.
