I am Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Most Expensive Fruit From
Around The World … but ike how expensive can fruit really be.
LOL!
HO HO….hella expensive!
Before we get into this video, I just want to remind you guys that we have some most
amazing merch available, so if you want to joing the Most Amazing Gang, then check out

Okay….
Get me dat sweet sweet expensive fruit!
10 - 21 dollar apple Cheap at 10 times the price considering everything
else on this list, but still a hefty cost for a fruit, the Sekai Ichi Apple has a weight
to rival its cost.
Weighing around 1 kilo each, these apples are considered to be the most expensive apples
in the world.
These babies are grown in Japan….which seems to be a bit of a theme on this list!
Oh, hello again Japan…if you’re selling your apples for 21 bucks, how much are your
oranges…oh…80 dollars…blimey.
That’s right, say hi to the Dekpon Citrus at number 9.
This is a new breed of fruit – a mandarin like large sweet orange, around the size of
a softball.
These were invented in Japan in 1972 although California has started growing them under
the name Sumo Citrus.
Even just a small tin of this orange is 11 dollars!
8 Square Water Melon – 800 dollars Japan is all about novelty fruit and in recent
years the Japanese have cultivated Square Water Melons!
Apparently these are a favorite in Russia, with Japan exporting them for 800 dollars
a piece for a 13 pound whopper.
If the 800 dollar price tag is too much, you can buy miniature versions for 200 bucks or
a pyramid shaped full size melon for 500 dollars.
7 - This strawberry will cost you $4,395 Dollars.
That is right, over 4 thousand dollars for one strawberry.
That being said, the strawberry is the size of a Golf ball.
Either way, I personally would rather have a whole punnet of strawberries for 3 dollards!
This luxury fruit is grown at Nichio’s farm in Japan and takes 45 days to grow.
The Farmer only produces 500 of them a year.
6 - $320 Dollar Grape Yes, just the one grape.
So Japan goes wild for perfect fruit.
A fruit farm grows Ruby Roman Grapes, which are supposed to be the perfect grape.
The going rate for just one of the juicy red grapes is over 300 dollars.
One supermarket paid 9 thousand 700 dollars for a first harvest bunch, which yields on
30 grapes in total.
Blimey.
5– Densuke Watermelon The Densuke is a black on the outside melon
beloved by all gothic fruit enthusiasts.
Obviously it is grown in Japan…because where else!
The fruit is 11 kilos on average, so it is pretty hefty…again though, it comes at a
hefty cost.
The most one of these has gone for at auction was 6 thousand 100 dollars.
4 10 thousand pound Pineapple, that’s about 13 thousand dollars
Coming from good old Cornwall in England, this Pineapple is from the lost gardens of
Heligan.
These pineapples are actually pretty small as pineapples go – measuring about 6 inches.
The secret of the sweet taste of this pineapple?
30 tonnes of decomposing hey and horse urine.
Yum.
3 $30 thousand dollar Mangoes
In 2012, 12 Mangoes sold for 30 thousand Australian Dollars at a Charity auction in Sydney.
They money went towards two Australian cancer charities.
The Mangoes were from Australia’s Northern Territory, an area famous for its mango production.
This particular trey of Mangoes was advertised as the first mango trey of the season.
The reason they fethched such a high price wasn’t for the quality of the fruit, though,
but for the charity…so these juicy mangoes stay at number 4
This isn’t coming into number one for reasons you are about to find out, although this 1.4
million dollar strawberry dessert is dazzling us at number 2.
1.4 million dollar strawberries,,,,although its cheating as they come with a pink diamond
ring – arnauds in New Orleans
Served at Arnaud’s in the French Quart of New Orleans, these strawberries ware so expensive
because they’re marinated in a fine port poured from a Charles the tent Crystal Cave
Set…oh, and they come complete with a topping of diamonds….a 4.7-carat pink diamond ring
once owned by English Gentleman Sir Ernest Cassel.
Finally, coming in to number 1, we have the 27 thousand dollar melons
in 2016, a pair of premium Hokkaido Cantaloupes sold for 27 thousand 240 dollars.
This is insane, and this wasn’t even to raise money for charity…it was just the
cost of the fruit!
The melons are perfect sphere with their T shape stalks left on for beauty purposes!
Sure!
So….that was one expensive fruit bowl of a list!
