Tears of the Kingdom Sunny Recipes: Ingredients and Dishes
Sunny food in Tears of the Kingdom: every ingredient that carries Gloom Recovery, how strong each is and the dishes using them.
What does Sunny do?
Gloom damages your hearts in a way ordinary healing does not undo. Sunny food is the fix: the game’s description says it restores hearts damaged by gloom.
Which ingredients give Sunny?
Only two ingredients carry it, both plants: Sundelion (12 in the cooking data) and Sun Pumpkin (4). No critter carries Sunny, so there is no Sunny elixir; it comes only in dishes. It has no levels.

¹ The number the game's cooking data gives each ingredient for this effect: higher is stronger, and a pot adds them up. How the total turns into a level or a duration is not published, so we don't convert it.
² How many times the game's world data places the ingredient at a fixed spot, and the three areas with the most (a region is the one of the nearest shrine). Ingredients from animals, monsters, ore deposits, shops or random spawns are not counted, and those listed can also turn up elsewhere.
