Nothing if it's not in your genetics to be tall. Sorry.

If you are past 18 I don't think there is any thing that will make you taller, and I don't think there is any special food that would make you grow taller at any age. It depends on your ancestry. My Dad
was 6' 5" tall, but my Mother was 5'2". I got a bit of height from my
Dad, I am 5' 3".

As long as you aren't fully grown yet, then the answer is food!
It is very rare that someone who gets plenty of food will lack nutrients needed to grow to their full height. Very few people in wealthier countries are malnourished of any vitamins whatsoever, even when they have relatively bad diets.
Growth hormones make some people taller, but those people are naturally lacking the correct hormone balance. If you are dramatically shorter than the vast majority of people, and you are still in your early teen years, then it may be worth consulting a doctor about.

Unless you have a very poor diet that causes severe malnutrition, there is nothing you can eat to change your growth patterns. These were established at the time of conception by your genes and family history.
Remember height does not make the "man." You are a good person because you are who you are, not how tall you are.

Nothing! Your height is predetermined by your genes and unless you have a very poor diet your height will not be drastically affected by what you eat. That said, its never a bad idea to eat lots of veggies and a good balanced diet to maintain good general health and to make the most of your potential.

Nothing.
It would be wonderful but, it doesn't exist. There's nothing wrong with being short you know. My sister is really tall 5'11'' and when we were growing up she always envied me because I was shorter. She said guys liked it better. You should love yourself the way you are. Height won't give you more then what you already have.
