Update 2.0 brings with it a lot of new things, including being able to find, grow and cook a whole host of new vegetables. We have prepared a short guide for you to brighten up your garden without difficulty.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has had a facelift with the arrival of version 2.0, the biggest free update ever seen in the (short) life of the little life simulation game. To be able to enjoy the brand new kitchen in version 2.0 of Animal Crossing, you must have unlocked all of its new foods. And among these, there is a whole range of vegetables and cereals that you can grow in your favorite garden. There are five of them in total, they are not necessarily easy to find, but we have prepared a little guide to help you in this quest for both taste and botany.
How do you find the five new vegetables?
As we explained to you above, there are five new vegetables from Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0. They include: wheat, potatoes, sugar cane, tomatoes and carrots. To obtain them you will have two solutions. Either go on Joe’s Island where you will have previously opened the shop of Root (for 10,000 bells). The little sloth can sell you seeds of these different plants at the rate of two types of seeds per day. The other way is to go to desert island with Admiral. Find the old sea bass on the brand new pontoon and follow him in his adventures on random islands. On some of them, you can find tomatoes, carrots and so on. Pick the plants yourself to bring them back to your island.
How to grow the new vegetables?
It’s easy to grow your brand new vegetables. Plant them in your garden and follow the rule one watering per day. If you don’t water your plants, they will grow, yes, but with less production than a plant that has been well hydrated beforehand. It is therefore recommended to water your plantations at least once a day to maximize the production yield. Each plant takes up to three days to reach maturity. Three waterings to obtain fresh tomatoes to use in cooking, it’s quite simple, but we are not complaining.
How to use vegetables in cooking?
That’s not all, but what is the use of watering and growing tomatoes? Well, it’s about making full use of one of the other additions of version 2.0 of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the food. Once you own a good kitchen in your home, you can use ingredients from your garden to create tasty recipes. Starters, main courses, desserts, pastries, cakes … There are many possibilities to brighten up your palates. And what could be better than cooking with ingredients from your own garden (and organic in addition). Sure, unlocking a kitchen will cost you a bit of time and a few bells but trust us it’s worth it.
