Tomato Seeds are the crop material you need before your camp can grow tomatoes, and tomatoes feed into some of the more filling dishes in Palworld. Red Berries carry you and your Pals early on, but once your base grows you will want a steady tomato supply for cooking and for High Quality Bait. Getting there starts with the seeds.
Quick answer: Buy Tomato Seeds from a Wandering Merchant, or defeat and capture Mossanda, Vaelet, Broncherry, Dinossom Lux, or Wumpo Botan to farm them as drops. Then build a Tomato Plantation to produce more seeds and tomatoes automatically.
Where to get Tomato Seeds in Palworld
There are two reliable paths. You can purchase seeds outright from a Wandering Merchant, or you can hunt Pals that drop them. Both work, and most players end up using the plantation later to remove the grind entirely.
For the merchant route, head to a Wandering Merchant and check the stock. The one near Fisherman’s Point, over by the dock, is a common spot to find Tomato Seeds in the inventory.
For the farming route, target the Pals below. Aside from the Dragon/Electric Dinossom Lux, these are Grass-type Pals, so bring Fire-type Pals in your party to deal extra damage. Mossanda is one of the easiest to find in numbers, spawning around Gobfin’s Turf and Mossanda Forest, north of the Plateau of Beginnings. Broncherry is a beginner-friendly option too, roaming the Bamboo Grove and near the Bamboo Thicket fast-travel point, though it hits hard once provoked.
| Pal | Seeds dropped | Drop chance |
|---|---|---|
| Dinossom | 1–2 | 100% |
| Dinossom Lux | 1–2 | 100% |
| Bristla | 1–2 | 100% |
| Cinnamoth | 1 | 75% |
| Vaelet | 1 | 50% |
| Braloha | 1 | 50% |
| Mossanda | Drop chance | — |
| Broncherry | Drop chance | — |
| Wumpo Botan | Drop chance | — |
Tip: Keeping a Vaelet at a Ranch also produces Tomato Seeds over time, with output scaling as the Ranch levels up.
Build a Tomato Plantation to farm tomatoes
The plantation is the long-term fix. Once built, it produces both tomatoes and extra Tomato Seeds when worked, so you never have to hunt Pals again. Pals with Planting, Watering, and Gathering skills can automate the whole cycle. Assign Pals with level four work suitability to speed up planting and maximize output.
| Material | Amount |

| Tomato Seeds | 3 |
| Wood | 70 |
| Stone | 50 |
| Pal Fluids | 5 |
Tomato recipes and uses
Tomatoes go into several cooking-pot dishes that keep your Pals fed and give short work or combat buffs. They also feed into High Quality Bait for fishing. Here are the recipes that use tomatoes.
| Dish | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Salad | 2 Lettuce, 2 Tomato |
| Omelet | 2 Egg, 1 Tomato |
| Pizza | 2 Milk, 2 Red Berries, 1 Flour, 2 Tomato |
| Reindrix Stew | 1 Reindrix Venison, 2 Tomato |
| Mozzarina Cheeseburger | 2 Mozzarina Meat, 2 Milk, 1 Flour, 2 Tomato |
| Dumud Chowder | 1 Raw Dumud, 2 Lettuce, 1 Tomato |
Salad raises work speed briefly, Omelet boosts Pal attack by 10 percent for a short time, and Reindrix Stew keeps Pals full a little longer. Once you have a plantation running and a party of Fire-type Pals for the occasional hunt, Tomato Seeds stop being a bottleneck and tomatoes become a dependable part of your camp’s food supply.
