Water -- a desalinization plant allows you to convert energy into water.
Air -- we can bottle as much pure air as we want with energy.
Food -- yes, it takes energy to make food, whether it is grown in the grown or fed food that was grown or completely artificial.
Human organs and blood -- this is a resource separate from energy, but only because of medical ethics. If it wasn't unethical to grow/create people for transplantation/transfusion purposes, we could convert energy to medical resources. This will hopefully become practical overtime, when science allows us to clone organs without making a whole human.
