Most EXPENSIVE Fruits In The World!
Not all fruits are created equal, and that doesn’t only apply to how they taste, it also includes how much
they can be sold for. As a general rule, any fruit considered “exotic” or not locally grown can command a
premium price. Believe it or not, bananas once cost an arm and a leg in European countries.
Generally, easier global trade has put a stop on overpriced fruits and we can basically eat most fruits in
existence. But, as always, there are a few outliers. For some reason or another, there are still some fruit
out there that are out of reach for us common folk, reserved for those people who can afford them.
The ridiculous fruit on number one is the most expensive fruit in the world, so make sure you stay tuned
for that. here are 15 of the most expensive fruits in the world.
Sembikiya Cherry
These cherries come from that same famous fruit shop as the Queen strawberries, more on that later.
Established in 1834, Sembikiya is one of the best places to find this expensive and impressive fruit.
These cherries undergo a strict quality control inspection before they are deemed fit for the market.
Each must be evenly sized and the same color. To make sure that each cherry is up to scratch, they are
grown in small greenhouses so that each cherry is monitored individually.
While they are only $4 each, they are sold in boxes of 40, making them $160 a box.
Sembikiya Queen Strawberries
These strawberries are another part of Japan’s long tradition of gifting exquisite fruit to people you are
indebted to.
This fruit is not only extremely sweet, but its leaves are known for being perfectly shaped. The oldest
fruit shop in Japan, Sembikiya, is where they get their namesake.
Each strawberry is hand-selected to ensure that every berry in their fruit boxes is precisely what their
clients are looking for. And how much are you expected to fork up for a dozen of these things? $85 if
you buy it in Japan. The price grows exponentially if you try to import them.
Buddha Shaped Pears
People have been fiddling with their fruits and vegetables since the dawn of agriculture. At first, our
primary aims were size and productivity—that is, bigger, faster-growing food and lots of it. Then we
went for looks.
Nowadays we can produce pears that look exactly like fat little buddhas, complete with folded arms,
plump tummies, and meditative smiles. The secret is a plastic mold made by China’s Fruit Mould
Company, a manufacturing group that also sells supplies for making heart-shaped watermelons, star-
shaped cucumbers, apples with gnomish faces, and sultry peaches shaped like human behinds.
Aside from its shape, it’s just your garden variety pear. But, it looks like looking godly does add a bi8t of
a premium to the price. You can get one, just one, of these pairs for $9 each.
White Jewel Strawberries
The White Jewel strawberry is like expensive beer. If you have the palette for it, you’re sure to notice
this berry’s mysterious flavor. Otherwise, you may be wondering what you paid for. Farmers say it takes
a while to be able to taste the flavor this strawberry has to offer. They even warn that it may seem
almost flavorless at first.
People compare it to a tropical taste, saying it is like biting into a pineapple. It finishes with a light flavor
of sweet candy. Much larger than your traditional strawberry, it’s produced only in Japan.
Its white color comes from a lack of sunlight. A harvest produces only 10 percent of white strawberries
in a growing season because of the strict ratio of sunlight to darkness that needs to be maintained, and
that’s the main reason it sells for $10 for a piece. There is an easier and cheaper way to make one, but
that involves soaking your strawberries in bleach so I suspect that’s not going to taste as good.
Dekopon Citrus
Despite costing $13 per orange, people are quick to say that this excellent piece of citrus is well-worth
the price. It is much larger than a traditional mandarin but, get this, has the same taste. Why would
anybody buy one these when he or she can buy a few normal oranges for the same price, I don’t know.
This orange is one of the best-kept secrets in the world of fruit-producing. Initially grown in Japan, it was
first brought to the United States in 1998. Well, it was smuggled in. After a complicated history of
sneaking fruit trees in and out of countries, it is now found in stores worldwide.
