In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, many familiar cooking materials and ingredients from Breath of the Wild have made a comeback. Among them is Goron Spice, which is a favorite of the rock-munching Goron. While it can occasionally be found in chests or as quest rewards, the most reliable method of obtaining Goron Spice is by purchasing it from one of two vendors. Here’s where Link can find and purchase the cooking ingredient Goron Spice in Tears of the Kingdom.
Where To Get Goron Spice in Tears of the Kingdom
To acquire Goron Spice, Link should make his way to Goron City, situated to the west of Death Mountain and north of the Goron Hot Springs. One efficient method of reaching Goron City is by fast traveling to the nearby Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower, once it is unlocked, and gliding southeast.
Link can also discover several shrines in proximity to Goron City, with the closest being the Marakuguc Shrine, which provides a great fast travel point for returning to the city. Completing either the Sitsum Shrine or Timawak Shrine will also provide him with convenient means of returning to the city, as well.
Once Link has arrived at Goron City, he should make his way to Tanko's General Store, located at coordinates 1675, 2458, 0384 and marked by an icon on the world map. Here he can purchase bottles of Goron Spice for 16 Rupees each. No prerequisites or quests are required to purchase the spice; he can simply head to the store and make his purchase.
Keep in mind that the shop only stocks 3 bottles of Goron Spice at a time. However, players can easily restock the shop's inventory by leaving the city, sleeping until the next day, and returning to the shop. This ensures that Link will have an ample supply of Goron Spice for various cooking recipes.
In addition to Tanko's General Store in Goron City, Goron Spice can also be purchased from a Traveling Merchant named Yammo. Yammo can be found walking along the road between the New Serenne and Tabantha Bridge Stables. To reach the Tabantha Bridge Stable, head west from Hyrule Ridge until you reach a bridge spanning a chasm. Keep in mind that since Yammo is a traveling merchant, locating her may prove to be challenging. Therefore, for the most reliable and convenient option to purchase Goron Spice, it is recommended to visit Goron City.
What Is Goron Spice Used For in Tears of the Kingdom?
Goron Spice becomes particularly useful for players during the side quest "Teach Me a Lesson," where they are required to prepare the Monster Curry dish.

Here are a few useful recipes that Link can prepare using Goron Spice in Tears of the Kingdom.
