To feed a Gold Slime, you will need to use its favorite food, Gilded Ginger, which is the rarest veggie in the game and can be found in the Glass Desert, with one appearing each day and despawning at 5:00am the next day. Feeding a Gold Slime with Gilded Ginger will produce 5 Gold Plorts, regardless of whether you have the Golden Sureshot upgrade, and will not cause the slime to flee if it hasn’t noticed you.
