Mutated foods play an important role in Grow a Garden, especially if you’re aiming to please the Food Connoisseur Rat and earn rewards. These unique crops aren’t just regular harvests—they have special mutations that increase their value and usefulness. If you’re wondering how to create them, here’s a full guide to help you start producing mutated foods for your garden.
What Are Mutated Foods?
Mutated foods are crops that have undergone special changes, giving them additional effects or higher quality. In Grow a Garden, these foods are needed for the Food Connoisseur Rat’s reviews. The more mutations a food has, the more it boosts the mutation meter, which helps you get rare or high-tier results.
How to Make Mutated Foods
To get mutated foods, you’ll need to understand the mutation chart in the game. Here’s how it works:
- Start with a Plant That Has Mutations If your plant already has at least one mutation, it will increase the mutation chance by around 20%.
- Add More Mutations for Higher Chance Two or more mutations will raise the percentage even further. For example: Mutation = ~20% boost and Multiple Mutations = Much higher boost (can go above 80%)
- Maxing the Mutation Chance Some plants with multiple rare mutations, like a Rainbow Strawberry, can push the meter close to or even at 100%.
- Follow Specific Recipes Recipes for special mutations, like Prismatic, can help you consistently get high-quality mutated foods.
- Give to the Food Connoisseur Rat Once your food is mutated, you can hand it over to the rat for rewards.
Tips for Better Mutations
- Always combine plants with different mutations to stack effects.
- Keep farming rare mutation types for better chances.
- Track your mutation percentages and aim for as close to 100% as possible before harvesting.
Mutated foods aren’t hard to make once you understand the process. The key is stacking as many mutations as possible on a plant before harvesting. With a bit of planning and recipe knowledge, you’ll be producing high-tier crops and impressing the Food Connoisseur Rat in no time.
