There are such dishes and products that only wealthy people can afford and even then not always. This article will introduce you to a list of products that not all rich people can afford.
Saffron. This spice is recognized as the most expensive in the world. This is the stamens of a plant that belongs to the crocus family. The price is so huge because saffron is made by hand. First you need to collect, and then dry. To make 1 kilogram of saffron as a result, you need half a million stamens. Now it becomes clear why up to $ 6,000 must be paid out per kilogram of saffron.
Potatoes. We are not quite used to seeing this product in the list of the most expensive products. However, the La Bonnotte potato variety is very expensive. For one kilogram you have to pay about 500 euros. This potato variety is growing on the island of Nurmuatie. The collection, of course, occurs manually. This potato has an unusually delicate taste.

It consists of red spiny lobster, lobster, three types of caviar, buffalo mozzarella, shrimp. And salt use the Australian pink Murray River.
Caviar: It is believed that the most expensive caviar is black or gray. But no. The most expensive caviar is “Almas” caviar of a beluga albino. It is mined in Iran and export is quite difficult. Pack this caviar in a golden jar. For one hundred grams of Almas caviar, you will have to pay $ 2,000.
Tea. Dahongpao is the name of the most expensive tea in the world. The translation sounds like "Big Red Robe." Tea is harvested from only six bushes that grow near the Tianxin Monastery. These bushes are already 350 years old. Annually from the bushes it was possible to collect no more than 500 grams of this famous tea. And it cost 685,000 dollars per kilogram. The entire crop was handed over to the Chinese National Tea Museum in 2006. A moratorium was announced on the collection of tea. Bushes of this variety of tea began to be propagated in the late 80s by a vegetative method. But tea connoisseurs and lovers allege that the grown tea cannot be compared with the Big Red Robe.
Beef: Marbled beef of Japanese Wagiu cows is considered the most expensive in the world. Animals are looked after with special care. Cows are fed the best grass. Every day they are given the same sake and beer. The Japanese did not allow for a long time to take out cows and grow in any other place. At the moment, these cows are bred not only in Japan but also in Australia. In Europe, just 200 grams of fillet pay more than $ 100. And for the most delicate pieces, you can pay up to $ 1,000.
White truffle. There is simply no price for this delicacy. And all because buying every mushroom is possible only at auction.
Walnut. Thanks to its beneficial qualities, this product is known to everyone. Macadamia is the world's most expensive nut. To date, only two species of this nut are grown. Macadamia nuts are rare because, despite the fact that a tree can bear fruit for a hundred years, it needs special care. About 40 tons are mined per year. In countries where nuts grow, the price per kilogram is more than $ 30.
