Gel

Gels are unknown substances that act as recovery items in several games in the series. They come in many varieties, with varying effects and strengths, and are presumably consumables.

Mysterious Substance
The games are never clear on exactly what gels are, what they are made of, what they look like, how they are stored, or how they are consumed. That said, we can make inferences about gels based on their properties and references made by characters in-game. At least in Tales of Symphonia, we can infer that gels do not require advanced technology to make, as they are mass-manufactured in the underdeveloped world of Sylvarant. This also suggests that gels use natural fruit for flavor and ingredients. A quote from Lloyd Irving early in the game implies that gels provide enough sustenance to get by, meaning they are a simple food rather than a candy. However, their price makes their use as food uneconomical. As revealed through one of his special titles, Genis Sage hates gels, presumably for their taste or due to his affinity for cooking.

In Tales of Vesperia it is shown that Karol Capel and Rita Mordio love gels. Karol says "I am addicticted to there simple taste." While Fellow party members, Yuri Lowell, Estelle Sidos Heurassein, Raven, and Judith dont like them. Judith think's that they like them becasue they are both children.
