Sweet Gem Berries are grown from rare seeds. They take 24 days to grow into fully mature plants. You can purchase a sweet gem berry from the Traveling Cart for a gold price between 9,000 and 15,000 (although the price for Rare Seeds is much lower, 600-1,000). Sweet Gem Berries can be turned into up to 3 seeds using a Seed Maker (there is a 2.5% chance that you will not receive any seed).

Sweet Gem Berry Information

The Sweet Gem Berry is a crop that grows from a Rare Seed after 24 days. It is not considered a Fruit or Vegetable and cannot be used in a Keg or Preserves Jar, nor does it benefit from the Tiller profession.

Rare Seeds can be purchased from the Traveling Cart for 1,000g in Spring & Summer, or for 600–1,000g in any season. A Seed Maker can also produce Rare Seeds from a Sweet Gem Berry.

Despite its high value, the berry is regarded as a neutral gift by all the NPCs in Stardew Valley. When given to Old Master Cannoli in the Secret Woods, the player receives a Stardrop in return. In multiplayer, all players receive a Stardrop with the gift of a single berry.

Sweet Gem Berry Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [417]. You will then receive the Sweet Gem Berry item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [417] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Sweet Gem Berry item.
