Tap on mature or ripe Sugar Lumps to harvest them. You can harvest a Sugar Lump as soon as it's matured, but there is a 50% chance that you won't get any Lumps this way. If you allow a Sugar Lump to fully ripen, you are guaranteed to get Lumps.
- If you don't tap on a ripened Sugar Lump, it will fall, and the Sugar Lumps will be automatically harvested for you. This happens even when the game is closed.
- It takes 20 hours for a Sugar Lump to mature, 3 hours to ripen, and 1 hour to fall.

Use an alternative method. There are three other ways you can get Sugar Lumps:
- Get the "Sweet" effect after tapping on a Golden Cookie or Wrath Cookie. You have about a 0.01% chance of getting the "Sweet" effect, which grants you one Sugar Lump.
- Harvest a mature Juicy Queenbeet in the Garden. This will get you one Sugar Lump.
- Sacrifice your Garden after you get every seed. This will get you 10 Sugar Lumps.

These are the most common types of Sugar Lumps. When harvested, they will always give 1 Sugar Lump.
When harvested, you have a 50% chance of getting 1 Sugar Lump and 50% chance of getting 2 Sugar Lumps. If you have the Sucralosia Inutilis Heavenly Upgrade, the chance of getting 2 Lumps increases to 52.5% (and the chance of getting 1 Lump is lowered in turn).
This Sugar Lump gives you an equal chance of getting 1 to 3 Sugar Lumps when harvested. Harvesting this Sugar Lump will also give an effect that refills all of your Sugar Lump cooldowns.
The rarest type of Sugar Lump, these Lumps will give 2 to 7 Sugar Lumps when harvested. When you harvest a Golden Sugar Lump, all the cookies in your bank are doubled and you get the "Sugar Blessing" effect, which makes Golden Cookies 10% more likely to appear for 24 hours.
These Sugar Lumps only drop during the Grandmapocalypse event. The Meaty Sugar Lump has a 40% chance to drop either 0 or 2 Sugar Lumps, and a 20% chance to drop 1 Sugar Lump.
