The Sauce mutation in Grow a Garden is a unique transformation that increases the value of your crops. It is part of the food-themed mutations introduced during the Cooking Event Update.

How to Obtain Grow a Garden Sauce Mutation

Spaghetti Sloth

The primary, and currently only, way to obtain the Sauce mutation is through the Spaghetti Sloth pet.

The Spaghetti Sloth is a mythical, limited pet that was released during the Cooking Update. It can be obtained by hatching a Gourmet Egg, which has a 4% chance of yielding the pet.

The Spaghetti Sloth possesses a unique passive ability called “Al dente”. Every 3.2 to 14 minutes (or 3:20 to 14 minutes, roughly 12 minutes in some instances), the pet will go to a nearby fruit and do a “cooking” to apply one of three mutations: Pasta, Sauce, or Meatball.

A notification will appear on the player’s screen when the Sauce mutation affects a fruit.

Grow a Garden Sauce Mutation: Value Multiplier

The Sauce mutation provides a x3 multiplier to your crop’s sell value. The Sauce mutation is one of three specific food-themed mutations (along with Pasta and Meatball) that can combine on a single crop.

When a crop has all three mutations (Pasta, Sauce, and Meatball), they will combine to form the Spaghetti mutation. The Spaghetti mutation offers a higher multiplier of x15.

It is important to note that when the Spaghetti mutation is formed, the original Pasta, Sauce, and Meatball mutations are removed and cannot be re-applied.
