The 4 Most Expensive Blue Fruits in the World - Can One Bite Offset a Year's Salary?
Know that the most expensive fruit in the world was once auctioned for a sky-high price. As early as 2001, Zengcheng's Green Litchi was auctioned for 5.5 yuan per piece, known as the most expensive fruit in the world, even winning a Guinness record. Called 'a Green Litchi is a grain of gold', as the most precious litchi variety, due to a single Green Litchi mother tree producing only 200-200 pieces a year, the production is rare and the price is high. It has a red-green mid-section, and each litchi also has a green thread around it, peeling it off reveals delicate white pulp, sweet and juicy. Is it Peach Blossom or Green Litchi that made Yang Gui Fei smile? Besides Green Litchi, there is also Sunset Watermelon for 150,000 yuan per piece, Ruby Roman Grape for 66,000 yuan per bunch, and Densuke Black Skin Watermelon for 40,000 yuan per piece... There are so many rare fruits, if divided by color, do you know what are the four most expensive blue fruits in the world? It is said that almost no one can see it, eating one can offset a year's salary? I don't know if it's true or not.
1. Blue Indigo Fruit
Blue Indigo Fruit is an oval-shaped dark purple berry, resembling agate, as well as a magnified deformed blueberry, eating it is sour and sweet. Like other berries, it is used for medicine and food, with clearing heat and detoxifying effects. The fruit contains a lot of amino acids and vitamin C, in addition to being eaten raw, it can also be used as a dye to provide color, it can be used to make wine and drinks, and it can also be made into jams, etc. From 2012's 15 yuan/jin to now, the price of Blue Indigo Fruit has risen steadily. According to the size of the fruit, it is now sold for tens or even hundreds of yuan per jin, and the price is more than five times that of blueberries. But it doesn't cost a year's salary to eat one bite!
2. White Strawberries
Japan is a country that is extremely creative. As early as 20 years ago, one company began to hybridize strawberries. Accidentally, a mutated white strawberry was discovered. After a series of studies, in 2008, 'the fragrance of Love' white strawberry was officially put on sale. It is white with a hint of pink, and the pulp inside is still white. Because of the scarcity of production, it sells for about 85 yuan per piece. However, in recent years, there have been more and more rumors of 'Blue Strawberries' online. It is said to be a new variety developed in Japan. There are also seeds for sale online. Interestingly, there are scientific basis to indicate that it is obtained by implanting the antifreeze liquid gene of the polar cod. Not only is the color peculiar, it is said that this strawberry will not rot in the refrigerator. However, many experts and scholars have not yet provided reliable reports to support the cultivation and production of this item. Therefore, whether there are really Blue Strawberries, Foodie doesn't know.
3. Blue Watermelon
A long time ago, a post circulated on the Internet that 'a DNA laboratory in Fuzhou University cultivated a blue watermelon'. This broke our perception of watermelon – green rind, red pulp. Until now, most of the watermelons we eat in summer are sweet red pulp, and some green rind yellow pulp watermelons are also sold. But whenever you mention blue watermelon, one in hundred people has seen it. In fact, blue watermelon has been further confirmed to be photoshopped. However, a researcher said that blue-skinned genetically modified watermelon can be cultivated, but it has no market value because blue gives a very gloomy feeling, which can reduce people's appetite. So it's better to spend a year's salary to eat a bunch of red-pulp watermelon!
4. Red Pearl Shadow
Red Pearl Shadow is a red grape variety used for making wine, originally from the French region, now widespread around the world. Red Pearl Shadow grapes are small and the grape skin is thick, mostly dark purple with blue, using it to make wine, the wine color is like a gemstone red, the aftertaste is sweet and long, the fruity aroma is rich and mellow. However, according to the news that Foodie has seen and heard, domestic Red Pearl Shadow is about 2.5-4 yuan/jin, many people go to orchards to pick and then make wine, there is no way to spend a year's salary to eat one bite. This is pure nonsense!
