How to Get (& Use) Rice in Disney Dreamlight Valley

This article is over 1 years old and may contain outdated information.

Rice is a grain-based ingredient in Disney Dreamlight Valley that is used in a variety of cooking recipes, such as Sushi, Fish Risotto, and Mushu’s Congee. These dishes serve little purpose in isolation besides replenishing the player character’s energy. However, as Dreamers expand the Village and bring in more NPCs to the Valley, they will need to make these dishes for Villagers’ Favorite Things Of The Day or serve them at Chezy Remy. There are even Friendship Quests, such as in Scar’s storyline, during which players must cook a type of Sushi to proceed. Accordingly, knowing how to procure Rice is essential for gameplay progression in Dreamlight Valley.

Obtaining Rice in Dreamlight Valley

To get Rice in Disney Dreamlight Valley, players must gain access to the Glade of Trust, a biome that sits to the southwest of the Peaceful Meadow. For newcomers, this entryway to this biome will be covered with Night Thorns that require 5,000 Dreamlight magic to be removed. Afterward, players can purchase Rice Seeds from Goofy’s Stall in the glade.

Rice yields two stacks per harvest and requires 50 minutes of real-time to grow. This time frame is quite the contrast from Wheat’s 1-minute growth period. Nevertheless, players likely have plenty to do while they wait for the Rice to mature, such as fishing, mining, or pleasing Villagers to increase their Friendship Levels. Once the Rice is ready to harvest, players are encouraged to bring along a Villager with the Gardening Skill. This way, Dreamers will have a chance to multiply the yield from their Rice crops, thanks to the Gardening NPC.
