Food on the shelves of all Russian stores are getting more expensive every day. But still, domestic cheeses, sausages and other goodies are far from overseas delicacies that are sold at special closed auctions to serve the richest gourmets of the planet.
In today's selection are presented the most expensive food in the world.
10. The Royal Melons of Yubari
These hybrid melons are grown only on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. At the same time, the sweet and spicy taste of the fruit is very appreciated by gourmets. Therefore, the first fruits from the annual harvest are sold at auctions at a price of about $ 25,000 apiece. But at the height of the season, a medium-sized melon can be purchased for $ 100.
9. Caviar Almas
This beluga caviar has one important distinguishing feature - it is extracted only from the Caspian beluga, whose age is from 80 to 100 years. After all, the older the beluga will be, the brighter its caviar, and the more refined taste it has. Naturally, such an expensive product needs proper packaging - Almas caviar jars are made from 24-carat gold. The cost of each jar of caviar is $ 25,000.
8. Tea Tenuanyin
To produce this Chinese large leaf tea, a mature leaf is harvested, which is subjected to weak fermentation. Special fermentation conditions allow you to create a unique Tenuanyin flavor. Experts without objection give $ 6,000 for 100 grams of such tea.
7. White Truffle
Potato-like mushroom has an unusual aroma. The most valuable truffle grows in the forests of Europe, in Belarus, and is even found in Central Russia. To find truffles in Europe, specially trained dogs are used. The hard work of finding a mushroom is well paid, because a kilogram costs about $ 3,600.
6. Saffron
The famous spice is the dried stigmas of a flower from the iris genus. To get one gram of saffron, 150 flowers are required. Hence the fabulous price of this spice - $ 2,700 per 1 pound (exactly 453 grams).
5. Bluefin tuna
The world's most expensive fish is especially popular in Japan, because bluefin tuna meat is ideal for delicious sushi and sashimi. Typically, a kilogram of tuna costs about $ 1,300. But a deal is known to sell fish weighing 222 kg for $ 1.75 million.
4. Potatoes La bonnotte
In the process of growing this potato is fertilized with seaweed. As a result, the root crop gets a soft, salty taste and a delicate lemon aroma. La bonnotte tubers are so tender that they are harvested exclusively by hand. A kilogram of such a potato costs about $ 1,500.
3. Kobe beef
Pieces of this meat look as if they were left for some time in the snow - they are as if covered with hoarfrost. Thin layers make beef "marble." The cost of Kobe beef steak comes to $ 500.
2. Matsutake mushrooms
A kilogram of these mushrooms costs from $ 2,000. Unfortunately gourmet Matsutake can not be cultivated in artificial conditions - the mushroom grows only on the bark of red pine in the forests of China and Japan. It is believed that Matsutake is not only tasty, but also extremely healthy.
1. Edible Gold
The finest foil or tiny granules are often used to decorate confectionery and alcoholic beverages. Wealthy Indians are considered the main lovers of a bite to eat gold. They are happy to purchase edible gold at prices ranging from $ 30 to $ 100 thousand per kilogram, which makes it the most expensive food in the world!
