However, it has an 80% chance of giving a player Hunger, causing their hunger meter to deplete three-times faster than normal, for thirty seconds. Experienced players may choose to eat rotten flesh in emergencies because it is a quick way to recover health when no other food is available. When consuming this item, it's recommended for the player to drink Milk after consuming rotten flesh.
Rotten Flesh can also be given to tamed wolves to breed them and also be traded with cleric Villagers for 1 emerald as part of their tier trades.
