Not born, but from a Mother's body drawn,
I hang until half of me is gone.
I sleep in a cave until I grow old,
then valued for my hardened gold.
Who am I ?

Looks like it's
Ripe cheese
Not born, but from a Mother's body drawn,
From a mother's body, it's made of milk
I hang until half of me is gone.
Milk is kept at rest to separate its different components
I sleep in a cave until I grow old,
Cheese is left aging in cellars or similar environments
then valued for my hardened gold.
When it's well aged, the hard crust it develops assumes a yellow-golden color, and the cheese is valued way more than fresh cheese

These come from mother nature, their vines hang and then are disposed of while the main body lives in a cave underground and then they become gold. yukon gold

Marijuana
mother plants produce the ganja..... after harvest, the flowers are hung until they are dry and lose half their weight.... when curing, the buds are kept in sealed jars out of sunlight.... and the final perfect nug of weed is hardened and treated like gold (hash)
