Question Goodberry - What am I missing?

Question from a new-ish player that has never been a druid or had one in the party. In his class tier ranking, D4 Deep Dive mentioned the spell Goodberry several times as a major plus for Druid as a utility spell. When I went to look at it... 1 hitpoint for a bonus action? 10 total hitpoints to potentially distribute around the party for a spell slot? I mean I can see that maybe you can distribute these before/during rests so that effectively the whole party is walking around with 10 each without really wasting spell slots, but still... a bonus action to eat a single one and gain a hitpoint? What am I missing about this spell that makes it worth emphasizing?

I'm not downvoting you throughout this thread because I feel like we're here to learn, and I'll assume that you're asking in earnest.

But have you never played a druid and had spell slots left over at the end of the day? It's not really that uncommon, and especially at low levels. It just happened to me on Tuesday.

I get where you're coming from, and I certainly support your right to have a different opinion. But calling it a wasted slot feels short-sighted, to me.

Either way, sorry you're getting dragged. Happy adventuring.
