Unlocking every cooking ingredient in Disney Dreamlight Valley is essential for completing quests, whipping up energy-restoring meals, and befriending local critters. Among the various ingredients available across the valley, peanuts stand out as a key item for specialized recipes like peanut butter waffles and sandwiches. However, new players might notice that peanuts cannot be grown from seeds or found growing wild in the biomes.
Unlocking Remy and Building Friendship Levels
Before you can add peanuts to your kitchen pantry, you must first welcome Remy to your village and build a strong foundation with him. Travel to the Ratatouille Realm inside the Dream Castle to complete his initial culinary quests and invite him to live in the valley. Once his house and restaurant are built, continue leveling up your friendship with Remy by chatting daily and gifting him items.
Reaching Level 4 friendship with Remy is a mandatory milestone before peanuts become accessible. You will also need to unlock Dazzle Beach using Dreamlight, as this area is required for Remy's specific questline. Ensuring these progression milestones are met will allow you to trigger the necessary quest to locate the ingredient.
Completing Remy's Recipe Book Quest
Once you hit friendship level 4, speak with Remy to start the quest titled "Remy's Recipe Book". During this story mission, you will be tasked with retrieving buried recipe books and heading back to the Ratatouille Realm. Inside the realm's kitchen, you will discover a large sack of peanuts sitting near the back pantry area.
Grab the peanuts from the realm and bring them directly back to Remy in the valley. He will ask you to prepare a couple of recipes using the newly discovered ingredient to test out his restored memory. Completing this culinary demonstration permanently unlocks peanuts for future use in your game.
Purchasing Peanuts at Chez Remy
After successfully finishing the recipe quest, peanuts become a permanent staple item inside Chez Remy. Simply head inside the restaurant and interact with the ingredient shelves located near the back kitchen area. Here, you can purchase as many bags of peanuts as you need for 200 Star Coins each.
Stocking up on peanuts allows you to regularly prepare high-value meals or feed local animals like squirrels, who list peanuts as their absolute favorite treat. Keep a steady supply in your home storage chests so you are always prepared for future villagers' daily gift requests.
