Panleaf Flower Jam
When heat is applied, Panflowers secrete a sweet jam substance that can be used in a variety of dishes. This jam is bitter out of the flower, but when simmered and cooked it gets sweeter and sweeter. The longer you cook it the sweeter it gets, though there is a threshold it can reach before it can go bad and get extremely sour. To cook it to just the right temperature and time to get the exact sweetness you need without ruining it is an aquired skill.
Aqualick
Similar to bogchews, these are a sweet and sour substance, mainly sour, found within the tidepools of Nautil. They reside in slightly less salty waters and instead grow in more tropical parts of the reigon, meaning this plant can definitely stand a bit of heat. The pollen of Aqualick has an extremely tart flavor Isopups just seem to love. Shaking and scraping the powder into bottle is more than enough to keep it tasty.
Trident Meat Jerky
Trident Meat is usually a luxury few can afford, but selling it in small, dried portions helps make it more accessible to the less wealthy. While most isos won't ever get a taste of the expensive fresh meat, this jerky is an affordable substitute. While it is still expensive, it helps those who are less fortunate still have nice things.
Cinnabark
Similar to barkspice, cinnabark is made from grinding down the bark of a tree - this time cinnamon branches from Scorvia. The common pattern amongst this planet is that they struggle growing actual food, yet excel with spices.
Lava Goat Milk
Lava Goat Milk is much easier to obtain than the meat. This is because the milking doesn't hurt the goat, but rather helps it. Too much milk agitates the goats and can often affect their ability to climb. Regularly taking the excess prevents that risk. But not only that, due to the high bodyheat of the goat, the milk comes pre-pasteurized, and instead must be flash-frozen to be safe to drink. Bacterium that are resistant to heat but hate the cold thrive in the milk, and the freezing part is what actually cleans it.
Ashy Spices
Another bucket of spices from Scorvia- though this time it doesn't come from bark. Ashy Spices come from grinding together vines and weeds found around the base of the volcano, where mass amounts of lava pool around the side. Pick the ones that seem the oldest, and grind them up!
Mediginger Water
Mediginger, as mentioned before, has medicinal properties. To reduce these or rather concentrate them, boil it in water. The piece looses its firmness and lets go of all the anti-oxidants that are good for you into the water. You can still use the medi-ginger like this. The water itself is filled of organisms that help run vital biological functions.
Spider Meat
Deep down in the caves of Lithor lie beast-like spiders the size of lions. Still, Isopups need to do their job. More often than not, individuals go into the mines with nothing but tools and come back with gemstones and meat. While not every Isopup would know what to do in that situation, most Rock Isopups would, just due to the sheer amount of them roaming their home-planet.
Rattle Oil
Rattle Oil is extracted from rattlers and helps us cook and fry a variety of things. One of the universe's sole sources of oil comes from these snakes, so it is very important not to kill it unless it is extremely old and cannot produce much anymore.
Rattle Venom
Despite the name, it is completely safe to consume. The Venom often boils or cooks down in dishes, and adds on a rich flavor similar to what wine would- Isopups cannot synthesize alcohol in any form, so even if it were alcoholic, no one would be able to tell.
Rattle Tails
Rattle tails are pulled off of a similar species of armless lizard, and covered in candy to make treats. They are popular amongst the kids due to their crunch and sweetness, finding a perfect balance between savory and sweet.
Spirufly Dust
Taken from Spiruflies, the dust is both pretty and able to be eaten. It doesn't have much nutritional value desite that. Spiruflies are invasive and is highly encouraged to kill and harvest them when you see them, especially during early mating seasons for them.
Sweet Bee Honey
Though similar to bumbles but not quite, Sweet Bees are actually a type of hummingbird. They are called sweet bee due to their coloration and constant coat of pollen around its legs, to make it look like such. They store tons of pollen and nectar inside a tummy pouch which distends as it gets better and bigger. Sometimes, these guys can pop and it's not good... a safer way to help them from gourging is to drain them of their honey. This can be done with a tickle or a little poke to the stomach, but the bird usually secretes it through its feathers, down into basins, and eventually are let go when they are skinny enough to live in the wild once more.
Flouwhet
wheet amirite?
But in all seriousness, Flouwheet is a stardust kissed flour often grown on Verdara. Similar to Rainbow Sugar, it gets its coloration due to the amount of stardust it uses as sunlight instead of normal.
Tazed Yeast
Yeast, yeast, yeast! Need it for everything, especially for things like bread that are an essential on Kinectros. Bread is a staple almost everywhere due to how easy it is to make and how it can be stored. Fresh bread from anywhere requires yeast. While they don't have stable sources of yeast in Kinectros, they engineer it to last in the harsh conditions of space.
Rainbow Sugar
The unnatural amount of stardusts this species of sugarcane is exactly what makes it an amazing contender for agriculture. It grows even in moonlight, and doesn't take much to ripen. After it does, you can wait a whopping two weeks before even taking it from the ground. It creates an off-white sugar filled with glamorous pearlescent tones.
Cocoa Water
Cocoa-Water is also extracted from the cocoa-nut, this time from the inside. the insides are comprised of a chocolately thick mixture, and when mixed with water and cocoa-nut fruit pulp, you can make a chocolate milk substitute. Vegan and delicious!
Barkspice
Processed bark from cocoa-nuts, ground up and made into a coconut-bark spice. Often applied to meals like porridge and oatmeal. Not much to say here.
Nutty Milk
Nutty Milk is mainly comprised of, you guessed it, nuts! Harvested from the savynuts, a milk can be harvested. The flavor of the milk and the nut, however, are heavily dependant on the shape they form in.
