Most expensive fruit: $6,400 grapes

Held recently auctioned in Kanzoa market in Japan with the participation of 30 bidders to buy grapes called "Ruby Roman grapes." Single grain was sold at 255 $ with a total price of $ 6,400.
And grape weighs 20 grams and bright red in color and resemble tennis ball. As for the taste is delicious and wonderful.




















The auction of this expensive bunch of grapes took place in a room of a wholesale market in Kanazawa city and the winning bid was called out by the local upscale pastry shop in Ishikawa Prefecture amongst 30 other auction participants.
Each piece of Ruby Roman weighs 20 grams and has a rich cherry color, and the sugar content in this is around 18%. This special class bunch of grapes is artfully engineered and each grape costs around $255. The size is abnormally big when compared to a normal grape and looks like a table tennis ball, difficult enough to have it in one bite.
According to Toshio Shimizu, an official at the Ishikawa chapter of the Japan Agricultural Cooperative, “The quality hasn’t changed that much from last year – it’s just as sweet and juicy.”
But, perhaps increasing interest and expectation has influenced the price jump, as the final price is a 150% increase compared with the highest bid last year.These Ruby Roman bunches were the part of first grape consignment shipped this year, as 10,000 bunches were shipped which is double the supply compared to last year.
