The secret ingredient in a Krabby Patty has been a long-standing mystery in the SpongeBob SquarePants series. There have been many hints and speculations about what the secret formula is, but it has never been fully revealed. Here are some of the ingredients that have been mentioned in the show and in various sources:
- Lettuce

- Flour
- Turmeric
- Sea salt
- Land salt
- Barnacle shavings

However, the most recent and widely accepted theory is that the primary ingredient in the Krabby Patty is imitation crab meat. Another theory suggests that the secret ingredient is love, as the Krabby Patty has been shown to have a positive effect on those who eat it. While there have been some search results that suggest other secret ingredients, such as King Neptunes Poseidon Powder or even cocaine, these are not widely accepted or supported by the show's creators. Ultimately, the true secret ingredient remains a mystery.
