The latest expansion, The Storybook Vale, has arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley, introducing a wealth of new ingredients and materials. As the game continues to evolve, players now have access to fresh recipes and craftable items. However, with these new additions, finding specific materials can be a challenge. One such ingredient is the Cape Gooseberry, a versatile fruit that appears in several recipes. Here’s a quick guide to help you track down this valuable item.
Where to Find Cape Gooseberry
Cape Gooseberries are a fruit ingredient used in various recipes within Disney Dreamlight Valley. These berries can be found growing on the ground in The Bind, the only location where they currently spawn. After harvesting, the berries will take a short time to respawn in the same area, so players can return to gather more once the respawn timer expires.
Once collected, the Cape Gooseberry will be added to the Storybook Vale ingredient collection, under the Fruits category. Players can then use it to prepare a variety of dishes that will aid in completing tasks and advancing within the game.

Recipes Featuring Cape Gooseberry
Currently, Cape Gooseberries are required for the following recipes:
- Cape Gooseberry Chia Pancakes
- Cape Gooseberry Smoothie
- Cape Gooseberry Sour Fondue
Though the list of recipes may be limited at the moment, future updates—such as the second part of the Storybook Vale DLC coming this summer—are likely to expand the number of dishes that use this ingredient.
Additional Tips
Beyond cooking, players can also sell Cape Gooseberries for 55 Star Coins each. However, turning the berries into dishes increases their value significantly, providing a greater opportunity to earn Star Coins. Eating a Cape Gooseberry also replenishes 130 energy, making it a useful item to keep on hand for both crafting and restoring energy.
In summary, Cape Gooseberries are an essential new ingredient in Disney Dreamlight Valley, with numerous applications for recipes and energy restoration. As more updates roll out, the number of ways to use this ingredient will likely increase, making it an even more valuable resource for players.
