Quick Links
Genshin Impact has a cooking system that involves over 40 different ingredients. Some of these can be farmed from around Teyvat but a number of them are only available by processing other ingredients or visiting a vendor. There are even some which are region-specific.
In this guide, we take a look at which ingredients you can purchase from a vendor, which you'll need to process, and which can be farmed. Here's how to get your hands on everything you need to cook all the available recipes in Genshin Impact.

Vendor Exclusive Raw Ingredients In Genshin Impact
The final category of ingredients is those which can only be purchased from a vendor. If an item is for sale in multiple cities it's worth checking your reputation, since you can get a discount from city vendors if you've reached a high enough reputation level.
These are the items you can only get from a vendor, the cost, and the available vendors in each region.

Hints And Tips For Collecting Raw Ingredients In Genshin Impact
Recipes are split into categories:
- Health Regeneration
- Character Revival
- Stamina Buff
- Attack Buff
- Defense Buff
Most recipes will require a combination of purchased and farmed ingredients. However, each category contains several recipes, many of which offer the same advantages.
For example, Mondstadt Grilled Fish, Mora Meat, and Steak all revive a character and restore 50 to 150 health. This means that if you don't have any raw meat but your bag is full of fish you can grill that, instead of cooking a steak since all the recipes have the same effect.
This also means that not only can you choose to focus on farming ingredients that you find easier to collect, but you also don't need to worry about purchasing extra recipes, especially those that are expensive or require a certain reputation, unless of course, you're trying to collect them all.
Just remember that if your preferred recipes involve processing then it's good to do this regularly since it takes a long time to process ingredients in bulk.
