World’s Most Expensive 10 Fruits.
Fruits.
Isn't there an indescribable pleasure just by saying fruits?
Yes there are many fruits in this world only some of which we know about. We only feel the flavors of certain fruits. But if you eat the fruits that you will see in this post once in your life, it will be a luck.
In this post, we are going to see the 10 most expensive fruits in the world.
More than the price of a luxury car or bike.
10. Buddha shaped pear - $9
Yes you are correct. These pears are shaped like Buddha. Includes folded arms, meditative posture and smile. This form did not come naturally. A farmer named Xianzhang Hao came up with the idea to create these Buddha-shaped pears on his farm in China's Hebei Province. As the pears begin to grow, they are covered in mold and then the fruit grows into a Buddha shape. This one fruit is 9 dollars.
9. Sekai Ichi Apples - $12
I think you will have trouble reading this name. However, it means world number one. 1974 This type of apple was cultivated for the first time in Japan. It looks like a normal apple when you look at it. But its size and weight is not like a normal apple. 15 inches in circumference and weighs 2 pounds. Its price is 21 dollars. These apples are washed in honey before being sold.
8. Dekopon Citrus – $80/pack of six
Dekopon Citrus – $80/pack of six Citrus is a sweet, seedless blend of mandarin and orange. This variety of oranges was first cultivated in 1972. Many people praise these oranges for their sweetness and claim that it is the best orange in the world.
Comes in a pack of 6 oranges. A pack of these sells for up to $80. So don't think that you can buy it in an ordinary grocery store in front of you. If you want to buy these oranges first check if your wallet is fully filled and go ahead.
7. Sembikiya Queen Strawberries – $85/pack
Sembikiya Queen Strawberries, aka Nyohou Strawberries, are named after one of Tokyo’s most famous fruit sellers.
They come in packs of twelve with a price tag of $85. And they need nothing else to be the ideal gift.
Each one of these strawberries is individually picked for the right red, dark green leaves, white seeds and impeccable shape.
6. Square Watermelon – $800
Frustrated that a large watermelon is taking up too much space in your fridge?
Would you buy A cube watermelon if it was the solution?
This idea originated in Japan. Square watermelons were initially developed in Japan in the 1970s to facilitate stacking. But after 2014 you can buy it anywhere.
These watermelons are grown in boxes to get this shape. Only the shape has changed and the taste is the same as all watermelons. But only the price has changed.
This one watermelon weighs 13 pounds and costs about $800. Now tell me, are you going to buy this to eat and put it in the fridge or are you going to decorate your house?
5. Pineapples from the Lost Gardens of Heligan – $1,500
Just to prove that rare and expensive fruit is not only confined to Japan, pineapples from Europe. Only in the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall, UK where limited quantities are painstakingly raised in a Victorian glasshouse, called the pineapple pit, using an 18th century technique.
Normally, these pineapples are not sold, though they’re valued at more than $1,500 each. Despite that, one was auctioned at some point and the buyer paid around $16,000 for one.
4. Taiyo no Tamago Mangoes – $3,000
The name of these mangoes translates as egg of the sun. Although they’re exclusively grown in the Miyazaki prefecture of the Kyushi region, they come from the Irwin mango cultivar. Taiyo no Tamago Mangoes need to have over 350 grams each and high sugar content to be selected.
Every year, after the first harvest, the fruits are sold at an auction for quite a lot of bucks per pair. The record so far was $3,000.
3. Ruby Roman Grapes – $8,400
This variety was developed in 2008 and is grown and sold only in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. You can expect to pay for these rare grapes. But she doesn't get it easily. Because only 24,000 bunches are harvested each year.
Each bunch goes through a rigorous inspection before a sale, checked for flavor, uniformity of the distinctive ruby color, and size. These are divided into three categories. Superior, Special Superior and Premium. Only one or two bunches come in premium every year. That means they are highly valued. For example, a bunch of Ruby Roman grapes sold for $12,000 in 2020.
2. Densuke Watermelon – $6,100
Grown in small quantities on the island of Hakkaido in northern Japan, the Densuke is the world’s most expensive watermelon. With no spots nor stripes, weighing up to 11 kilograms, the black Densuke watermelon is a rarity on the fruit market.
Its taste is a little bit more sweeter than that of other watermelons, and since they’re only 10,000 of them produced every year it makes them very exclusive.
Usually one costs around $250, but in 2008, the record got to $6,100 for one of these black sweet melons.
1. Yubari King Melon – $30,000/pair
The Yubari King Melon is a hybrid of two other melons that originated on the same Hokkaido Island as above and got its name from the Yubari greenhouses on the island.
While now the average price is $12,000 per melon, in 2008, two of them were sold for a hefty $30,000, making them the most expensive fruits in the world.
The melons have a perfect round shape with a smooth rind, with part of the stem left on top to improve their aesthetics. They’re very soft and sweet and they’re used as gifts during Chugen – the Ghost Festival, a traditional Bhuddist and Taoist festival.
