How to Make Porridge in Grow a Garden – All Recipes by Rarity
Porridge recipes are categorized by rarity, with higher rarities offering better rewards but requiring rarer ingredients. Here’s the breakdown:
Transcendent Porridge Recipes
These are the hardest to make and often require Bone Blossom, a rare crop that may only be available through trading or special events.
- Recipe 1: 3 × Bone Blossom, 1 × Sugar Apple, 1 × Corn
- Recipe 2: 1 × Banana, 1 × Sugar Apple, 3 × Bone Blossom
Note: One of these Transcendent recipes (3 × Bone Blossom + 1 × Sugar Apple + 1 × Corn) appears to only work when Porridge is the active craving. If Chris P. wants something else, it may transform into a different dish.

Prismatic Porridge Recipes
Known for great reward potential, Prismatic recipes also rely heavily on Bone Blossom.
- Recipe 1: 1 × Corn (or Violet Corn), 1 × Banana, 3 × Bone Blossom
- Recipe 2: 2 × Bone Blossom, 1 × Sugar Apple, 1 × Sugarglaze, 1 × Banana
- Recipe 3: 1 × Violet Corn, 1 × Banana, 3 × Bone Blossom
Easy Variant: 1 × Corn + 2–3 × Sugar Apple — a cheaper way to get Prismatic without needing Bone Blossom.
Note: Sugarglaze is extremely rare, with only a 10% drop rate from the Gourmetaw Seed Pack.
Divine Porridge Recipe
- 2 × Corn (or Violet Corn), 3 × Mango
Mythical Porridge Recipe
- 2 × Violet Corn, 3 × Dragon Fruit
Interestingly, Mythical porridge seems unaffected by the “recipe changed to current craving” mechanic, and the usual warning message doesn’t appear — but you should still check the craving before using rare fruit.
Ingredient Sourcing Tips
- Bone Blossom – Rare; originally obtainable during the Prehistoric event, now mostly acquired through player trading.
- Sugar Apple – Occasionally available at the Seed Stall; limited stock. Appears at low odds, but restocks often before the 3 pm BST update.
- Sugarglaze – Very rare, ~10% drop rate from the Gourmetaw Seed Pack.
