hey guys it's Chris from Buddha shaped pairs 2 british pineapples did you know that some fruits could cost thousands of dollars here are the top eight most expensive fruits in the world number eight Buddha shaped pairs the Buddha shaped pair is perhaps the most unique looking fruit on earth right down to the facial details these pears look exactly like little Buddha figurines since the dawn of Agriculture humans have been experimenting with their fruits and vegetables at first the goal was to create bigger faster growing food and in large quantities humans also have a history of manipulating the appearance of produce long before the arrival of Columbus to the Americas prehistoric farmers had developed hundreds of colorful and flashy varieties of corn beans tomatoes and peppers as people continued experimenting with the looks of their fruits and vegetables some were deemed more attractive than others it's estimated that around 40% of produce is rejected due to its appearance sadly most of these cold items are perfectly edible and nutritious and they just get thrown away the Buddha pear is grown by China's fruit mold company which is responsible for several other oddly shaped fruits including star-shaped cucumbers heart-shaped watermelons peaches shaped like human behinds and apples with gnome-like faces during immaturity these fruits along with the Buddha pear are tucked into the appropriate molds for their intended appearances the fruits fill the mold and simply adjust to its shape in 2009 one Buddha pear cost around 7.30 two cents these days they're a bit more reasonably priced at least in the Netherlands where tan Buddha pears can be purchased for 33 dollars and 89 cents what a steal number 7 Seki ie Qi apples in English Seki ie Qi means world's number one Secchia eg apples originated in Morioka Japan in 1978 and are still primarily grown in Japan they are round in shape and are one of the largest apples in the world weighing up to 2 pounds each and are a cross between Red Delicious and Golden Delicious apples those are two of my favorites to reach their huge size they require a bit of extra attention during the growing season Seki ihe apples are customarily eaten fresh rather than used for baking or cooking they have a mild but sweet flavor with minimal tartness just one sec eie chee apple typically costs around twenty one dollars they are sold throughout the fall and early winter I'm gonna be looking for one of those number six B Jin hime strawberries luxury fruit is popular in Japan because it connotates social status and is tied to cultural practices in an interview with CNN soy young Jim Dean of the school of human ecology at the University of wisconsin-madison explained that fruit plays an important role in Japanese gift-giving practices it's only natural then that Japan is home to some of the world's most expensive luxury fruits the country is reputed for carrying the world's most beautiful strawberries they're called B Jin hime which means beautiful princess and have been grown at the okuda farm for the past 35 years the farm belongs to O Kootenai Show who has spent decades perfecting his strawberries in an interview with CNN he explained that it took him 15 years to achieve the perfect be Jin hime strawberries which are scoop shaped and grow as big as a tennis ball neasha won't go into detail about his methods for growing these plump juicy strawberries and for good reason the average price of a tennis ball sized B Jin hime strawberry is four thousand three hundred and ninety-five dollars he only sells about 500 of them per year but to the mat that's still a lot of money and now for number five but first what's the most you're willing to pay for say a pineapple let me know in the comments below and be sure to subscribe to world list before you go anywhere number five dense ook watermelon the ultra rare dense ook watermelon is black skinned and stripeless and its flesh is known for being sweeter than other watermelon varieties they're grown on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido only 100 are produced annually the average price for a dense ook watermelon is around 250 dollars but the highest-quality melons which are sold at auction typically sell for a thousand to four thousand five hundred dollars the most expensive one ever sold went for six thousand one hundred dollars at a 2008 auction and weights 17 pounds in 2014 staff members of the Canadian newspaper the star took a blind taste test of the dense ook watermelon some of the taste testers found the dense ook watermelon to be sweeter than a run-of-the-mill 699 watermelon from the market on the other hand some of the testers preferred the cheaper watermelon because it was less soggy than the expensive dense ook variety square watermelons which also originated from Japan can also cost several hundred dollars while dropping this kind of money for upscale fruit may be customary in Japan the practice is viewed less favorable among Ontarians mike chrome jack who's a partner at a Tilson Burgh Ontario watermelon and asparagus farm explained to the star that he wouldn't feel right selling a designer watermelon to someone for more than a few dollars because until it's cut in two there's no true way of knowing if it's ready to eat he also referred to the fancy watermelons as a status symbol and excess indulgence what about you would you pay an exorbitant price for any of the high-end fruits that we've talked about so far in today's video let me know in the comments below number four rwby roman grapes Ruby Roman grapes are grown exclusively in Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture each grape is around the size of a ping-pong ball and has a distinctive red shape there are strict rules for selling the Ruby Roman grapes each grape is inspected and must weigh at least 20 kilograms and have a sugar content of 18% or more there's also a premium class of Ruby Roman grape which requires each grape to weigh at least 30 kilograms and each bunch of grapes to weigh at least 700 kilograms in 2010 only six grapes were classified as premium and in 2011 zero grapes made the cut the first Ruby Roman grapes sold for nine hundred and ten dollars per bunch in 2008 or roughly twenty six dollars per grape in 2016 at the year's first auction at a wholesale market in Kanazawa a bunch of Ruby Roman grapes sold for around eight thousand four hundred dollars double-checked the kilograms it's like really heavy number three say Toni's cheeky cherries these bauble shaped shiny cherries are primary cultivated in Yamagata prefecture of Japan where 70% of the nation's cherries are grown when fully ripe these small cherries are bright red they're in season during early summer and are carefully sorted and graded like all Japanese fruit the say Tony cheeky cherry was first bred during the early 20th century by a farmer in dis uke Sato at the time most cherries went bad shortly after being picked or during shipping net a host of other issues Sato solved this problem by crossbreeding Tobi's cherries which have a short shelf life but a good flavor with Napoleon cherries which last much longer but have a sour taste it took him 16 years but eventually he came up with the say Tony cheeky cherry in 2018 a stolen batch of cherries weighing a hundred kilograms was valued at 5600 $31.24 number to deck upon the deco pond is a hybrid between a Mandarin and an orange and it's rumored to be the most delectable citrus fruit on earth now I have to try one it looks like an orange but is larger and sweeter and has a bump on the top a single piece of the seedless thick-skinned fruit can weigh up to a pound and its flavour is said to resemble that of an intense orange but a much sweeter in fact the deco ponds flavor is so sweet some have compared it to eating candy I really want a dry one the deco pond is a relatively new fruit it was first produced in 1972 by a governmental Research Station nagasaki prefecture japan it's now grown in various countries including Brazil and South Korea in 2011 the deco pond was harvested for the first time in the United States in California that same year in an article for the LA Times writer David Karp whose tried over 1,000 varieties of citrus identified the deco pond as the most delicious he's ever tasted by the 1990s Japanese consumers were paying as much as 10 dollars a piece for the deco pond as of early 2017 the average price of a six pack of deco ponds was eighty dollars number one lost gardens of Heligan pineapple in the county of Cornwall in southwestern England there's the lost gardens of Heligan a set of botanical gardens where pineapples are grown far outside of their traditional environment pineapples are a tropical fruit that don't grow naturally in England's temperate maritime climate in 1991 a manure heated pineapple pit was unearthed at the present-day location of the lost gardens of Heligan it's believed to be Britain's only working manure heated pineapple pit after many months of research architectural and horticultural historians concluded that the site's first structure was probably constructed during the 18th century the first pineapple flower bud was observed after three years of nurturing a plot in June 1997 Prince Charles visited the garden and in October of that year the first successful harvest occurred the growers even sampled the first pineapple to ensure it didn't taste like manure upon discovering that he was delicious they gave the second pineapple to queen elizabeth ii as a gift for her 50th wedding anniversary you know growing these pineapples is a very labor-intensive task and it can take years before any success is achieved after factoring together all the costs associated with growing the pineapples the growers determined that each pineapple has probably cost them in excessive get this 1290 $9.50 the growers don't sell their pineapples but instead share them among staff is a reward for their hard work throughout the growing process on the official website for the lost gardens of Heligan the cultivators of the pineapples state that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone to try one and that if one of their pineapples went up for auction $12,995 would be an appropriate selling price and thanks for watching which one of these very expensive fruits would you most like to try have you ever tasted any of them I think I want to try the deck upon you let me know in the comments below remember to subscribe and I'll
