The Top 5 Most Expensive Foods Around the World

How many of us have tried the most expensive food in the world? Not many of us had the chance because these foods are insanely crazy for the price.

However, we have gathered some information about the most expensive food around the world and you can ask yourself whether is it worth it to buy or not.

1. Saffron

The total cost of this seasoning can range from $400 to $1,000 and saffron grows only seven days a year in autumn and that’s what makes it expensive. Collected and processed by hand and to collect 1 kg of saffron and it’s necessary to pick 300,000 flowers.

2. Swallow’s Nest Soup

The nest that almost entirely made from a bird’s saliva. Their nests have become popular in Chinese cooking. Collecting the swallow’s nest is such a dangerous occupation. The birds build their nest on sheer cliffs, where falling is one of the high risks that should be really considered. The cost of this delicacy is thus around $3,000 per kilogram.

3. White Pearl Albino Caviar

$9,100 for 1kg of this caviar. Albino sturgeon, large fish that lives in the Capsian Sea. The cost for the caviar is high on account of the fact the eggs from the albino sturgeon are procured very rarely unless they are estimated to be around 100 years old.

4. Kopi Luwak Coffee

Mostly can be found in Asia, Kopi Luwak has been the most expensive coffee around the world. Kopi luwak, or civet coffee, is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then defecated by the Asian palm civet or civet cat. Some people believe that the acid from the animal’s stomach enhances the flavor of the coffee.

5. Matsutake Mushrooms

These are the rarest mushrooms that their price now can be around $600 just for a single kilogram. Originally from Japan, Matsutake mushrooms also grow in several different Asian countries, and sadly their number has decreased significantly due to the effects of insects and invasive trees finding their way into the shaded area where the mushrooms grow. There is no way to cultivate  Matsutake mushrooms which means there is a high chance they could disappear altogether in the future.
