no blood cell don't need food , they need proper oxygen.
No, actually the red blood cells, are an oxygen transport system, for the lungs, heart and tissues. Blood is made up of many types of cells, therefore I might suppose you're referring to red blood cells. which give blood it's red color, but is not the only cell. Blood is actually living tissue, and yes, it's dependant on nutrients, and transfers nutrients as part of the carbon transfer system. The dissolved gases oxygen, and carbon dioxide are transported to and from all living cells, and this defines the metabolism of the bloodstream. It is also known as the carbon transfer system.
