3. Densuke Watermelon – $6,100 Each
Further north, in Japan, you will find the Densuke watermelon on Hokkaido Island.
Hokkaido, Japan’s second largest island, is known for its national parks and photogenic snow monkeys that bathe in hot springs.
Densuke watermelon is one of the most costly fruits in the world. It costs $6,100. This food can only be purchased by people who have the money to buy the best homes.
The Densuke watermelon has a slightly sweeter flavor than average watermelon and weighs in at around 11 kg. It also has a darker finish that gives it a distinctive appearance.
Densuke watermelon also lacks the spots and stripes that are common on regular watermelon. Their exclusivity is further enhanced by their small production of 10,000 per year.
One watermelon was auctioned in 2008 for $6,100. It is highly sought-after for its rarity and perfect round shape.
The Densuke watermelon is packaged in a beautiful display box with red velvet, as you would expect from such high-end fruits.
You don’t need to spend more than $6,000 on your next watermelon. Instead, you can get a regular Denosuke watermelon at a lower price of $250 per piece.
