Grow a Garden is continuing its delicious run with the new Kitchen Storm update. Well, this might not be as stressful as Hell’s Kitchen, but you surely need to produce better dishes and present them to the Rat NPC to get more exclusive rewards. One such reward is the Aromatic pet shard mutation that can help your pets gain a new passive ability, applying the Aromatic mutation to fruits in your garden. So, let’s check out the steps to obtain the Aromatic pet mutation shard in Grow a Garden in this guide below.
How to Get Aromatic Pet Mutation Shard in Grow a Garden
The Aromatic pet mutation can be applied to any pet in your garden once you get hold of the Aromatic mutation shard. Similar to the last cooking update, where you would get the fried mutation shard from completing quests, you must now need to present your dishes to the Rat Connoisseur NPC. So, here’s how it works:
- Feed the Rat Connoisseur dishes made from mutated ingredients using the cauldron.
- The Rat NPC will then give you a choice, allowing you to select between three rewards.
- Among these, you have a chance to get the Aromatic pet mutation shard. So, make sure to pick that when you get it.
- Right now, this is the only way to get the pet mutation shard. So, grab the best ingredients and present the best dish you can come up with.
To apply the Aromatic mutation to your pet, you simply need to left-click on it while holding the shard in your hand. However, do remember that the pet shouldn’t have any other mutations on it. Otherwise, the former one will get replaced with the new Aromatic mutation. Also, make sure that you have chosen the pet carefully, since the process is not reversible.

Increase Chances to Obtain the Aromatic Pet Mutation
The Aromatic pet mutation shard has a 20% chance to appear as a reward choice. So, naturally, it might not appear the first time you present a dish to the Rat. In order to increase the chances of getting higher-tier rewards, like the Aromatic pet mutation shard, you can follow these essential tips:
- Feed the Rat higher tier food recipes: The better food with better mutations you cook, the better rewards you’ll get. So, applying the same technique from the last update of feeding Chris P, you can give the rat dishes with rarer recipes and costlier mutations.
- Prepare bigger dishes: Try to get heavier dishes from the cauldron. The more the weight of the food, the better your chances of getting rarer rewards like the shard.
Should You Get the Aromatic Pet Mutation Shard?
The Aromatic mutation in Grow a Garden has an 18x sale multiplier, which is average considering all the effort you need to put in. Moreover, currently, there are no quests that require the Aromatic mutation. So, I would recommend all the veteran and experienced players not to put all their focus on getting this mutation shard.
Instead, in the Kitchen Storm update, unlock all sorts of new Grow a Garden cooking recipes and give them to the Rat. You will eventually get the Aromatic pet mutation shard sooner or later. Along with this, you will also get other cooler rewards like the Gorilla chef or the Culinarian chest that can get you the King Cabbage or Lobster Thermidor as well.
Once you find this shard, don’t forget to apply it to your best pets in Grow a Garden. This completes the guide to obtain the Aromatic pet mutation in the game. Have you checked out all the new seeds in the Kitchen Storm update yet? Let us know in the comments below.
