Saiyans, especially Goku, have always been foodies. They consume a lot of food and convert it into energy, which makes them formidable in fights. Similarly, in Dragon Ball Z Kakarot, characters can have different kinds of dishes and even full-course meals. They can either be cooked at campfires or prepared by NPCs. The most convenient way is to get Chi-Chi to make some full-course meals. Although, individual dishes also provide some benefits.
These food items can offer boosts in health, Ki buffs, strength buffs, and a lot more. However, recipes and ingredients are not available from the get-go. They must be gathered in order to be prepared and consumed. For players wondering how best to use their ingredients, these meals are the best.
