# ingredient

**Ingredient NFTs** are crafted inside Venues by burning SHING and are used in [Venue Upgrading](broken://pages/t9Y0P6xsAYU1RZ3KGDhH).&#x20;

They can also be Exchanged for TACO within the [Utilly App](/utility/taco-utility-app.md).&#x20;

Once every 6 hours, a Level 10 Venue is able to convert 200,000 SHING into an Ingredient NFT. The Ingredient created is based on the Venue type. Ingredients have different rarities that provide different amounts of TACO:

* **Common:** Taco, Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Cilantro, Chili Powder (15 TACO)
* **Uncommon:** Tomato, Onion, Lettuce, Lime, Garlic (20 TACO)
* **Rare:** Red Bean, Potato, Avocado, Sour Cream (25 TACO)
* **Epic:** Chicken, Meat, Mushroom (30 TACO)

{% hint style="info" %}
Example: A Common Salt Venue can only generate a Common Salt Ingredient which can be redeemed for 15 TACO.
{% endhint %}

Every Venue has its own type, and can craft only an Ingredient of its type. By using 200,000 SHING, players can create an Ingredient NFT of the selected Venue type.

Ingredient NFTs are transferrable and can be traded on the Marketplace.
