Peanut

The Peanut is an exclusive, multi-harvest, rare crop, and that combination is what defines its economics. Rare sits in the mid-tier of the rarity scale, so a single Peanut harvest won't rival event-exclusive divines, but the multi-harvest trait is the real payoff: one successful plant keeps producing across multiple cycles, spreading your original seed cost over many sells instead of one. That turns a modest per-fruit price into steady, compounding income.

Because it's tagged purely as a Nutty type crop, your boosting strategy is narrow but clean. Only Nutty-targeted tools, pets and event multipliers affect it, so it pairs best in a dedicated nut-focused plot where those bonuses aren't wasted on mismatched plants. If you've invested in Nutty-type gear, the Peanut is one of the cheaper ways to keep that investment working.

For mutation hunting, the multi-harvest nature is the key advantage: each regrowth is a fresh chance to roll Gold, Rainbow or weather mutations without re-buying seeds. Plant it during early-to-mid progression as a reliable background earner while you save for higher-rarity crops.
