In Grow a Garden, Cacao is one of the most sought-after crops. It was introduced during the Lunar Glow Update, and every player wants this seed because it’s rare and highly profitable. This guide covers everything you need to know about obtaining and making the most profits from this crop.
How to Obtain Cacao Seeds
Cacao seeds are exceptionally rare and expensive, making them a long-term goal for many players.
- There is a 0.05% (1 in 2,000) chance of the seed appearing in Sam’s Shop. This is why you may rarely see it in the shop.
- Each seed is priced at 2,500,000¢, making it the most expensive item.
- Seeds are also available through Robux for those who want to bypass the shop rarity. It costs 679 Robux.

Due to the seed’s low spawn rate, it’s crucial to instantly teleport to the Shop every time it restocks and purchase it right away. If you don’t have the required amount of Sheckles yet, make sure to earn it by selling your Mangoes, Dragon Fruits, Bamboos, and other high-value crops.
Once planted, Cacao offers strong returns for players:
- It takes approximately 30 minutes for a full-grown tree.
- Each harvest produces 3 to 4 Cacao beans.
- It’s a multi-harvest crop, which means the tree regrows beans continuously without needing to be replanted.
- Beans regenerate every 30 seconds, making it a highly efficient source of income over time.
Cacao is among the most profitable crops in the game, especially when rare variants are included.
- Standard Cacao Bean: Sells for 10,000¢ each.
- Golden Cacao Bean: Valued at 350,000¢.
- Big Golden Cacao: Sells for 5.1 million¢.
- Moonlit Cacao Bean: A rare variant that can be used to progress the reward track during the Lunar Glow event.
- Rainbow Cacao: A colorful and ultra-rare variant that adds great value to your harvests.
- And more!
