Does the health recovery bonus for Imperials affect food consumption?

Does the health recovery bonus for Imperials affect food consumption? I could swear the amount of health I got from food consumption did not change when I switched to the Imperial race, I could be wrong, but I don’t want to spend the gems to try switching back to something else, and then switching to Imperial again if I’m wrong.

version up to date as of Dec 18 2020, I know that some of these things have changed since the initial release.
