Cooking nutritious meals is important to staying alive in the harsh wilds of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. When your hearts are almost entirely empty, you can open up your menu and wolf down your packed lunch to heal up and get back into the fight. One of the most useful ingredients to this end is Hylian Rice. It pairs well with just about anything, letting you easily create heart-filling meals with whatever bonus effects you like.

We’ll tell you where to get Hylian Rice for your meals as well as the Gourmets Gone Missing quest, which requires one serving.

Hylian Rice can be mixed with loads of ingredients for powerful healing items.

There are several shops around the world that stock Hylian Rice, and at just 12 rupees a piece, it’s not an expensive endeavor.

The easiest place to find them is Beedle’s store. This wandering merchant can be found at any stable and sells Hylian Rice to you. If you’re elsewhere in the world, you’ll also find them in shops at Hatteno Village, Zora’s Domain, Koroko Forest, and Gerudo Town. Plus, after you’ve completed your first dungeon, the shop at Lookout Landing will expand and start selling Hylian Rice.
