The world of the rich and famous is fascinating for many of us. They lead the
life many of us want and they do what we only dream of us. Being a food
fanatic, this time we’ll have a look at the most expensive foods in the world,
most expensive drinks, deserts or spices.
1. Saffron, a spice grown worldwide, is derived from the saffron crocus flower.
A pound of dry saffron (0.45 kg) requires 50,000–75,000 flowers to make,
meaning an entire football field of these flowers. Requiring so much resources
and labor, prices for the spice go around US$500/pound to US$5,000/pound
(US$1100–US$11,000 per kilogram).
2. The most expensive nut in the world is the Macadamia nut. The macadamia tree
produces nuts only after it’s 7-10 years old, requiring fertile soil and heavy
rainfall. These nuts have a very hard seed, but once it’s open it reveals a
creamy white kernel containing up to 80% oil and 4% sugar. The cost of a
kilogram of these nuts exceeds 30$.
3. The most expensive caviar in the world is not the black one, but the almas
caviar! The
word ‘almas’ is Iranian for diamond. Beluga caviar comes from a
fish over 100 years old, that is virtually unchanged for 120 million years..
The luxurious caviar comes from the oldest survivor of the Dinosaur era. Beluga
caviar ranges in price from more than $5,000 per kilogram in the United States
4. The most expensive mushroom in the world is the white truffle. The mushroom
has its origins in the Langhe area of the Piedmont region in northern Italy, it
can reach 12 cm diameter and 500g. These truffles are sold at a amazing price
of €2,000 and €4,000 per kilogram ($1350 - $2700 per pound). The record price
for this truffle was paid last year, in December, when Stanley Ho, the owner of
the Macau casino paid $330,000 for 1.5kg of
truffles.
5. The most expensive potato in the world is a French one, “La Bonnotte”.
Annually, only 100 tons of this top quality potato are cultivated and collected
only on the island Noirmoutier. The potato fields require to be fertilized only
with seaweed in a climate shaped by the nearby sea. The cost of one single
kilogram can reach €500 since this type of potato is almost extinct.
6. The most
expensive beef in the world is the type of beef coming from the Wagyu
cows. These Japanese cows are fed the best grass and provided the best
treatment. That is why the meat is especially tender and particularly
expensive. 200 grams of a fillet cost in Europe more than 100 dollars.
7. The most expensive sandwich in the world is the club sandwich from Essen aka
von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich.. This triple-decker delicacy contains the
