Dumplings.

Many will be surprised by the presence of dumplings in this list — the favorite dish of most Russians. However, it was not the Russian dumplings that staked out a place in the rating. The most expensive dumplings in the world can be found at the Golden Gates restaurant in the Bronx, New York. The main visitors of the institution are Russian emigrants. The peculiarity of the dish is that they include not only tender veal, pork and salmon, but also the iron of the torch fish or Curtius Flame Fish, which lives at great depth. Thanks to this additive, the dumplings emit an unusual blue-green light, which, however, does not prevent them from remaining edible and tasty. A serving of eight dumplings costs $ 2,400 in the restaurant, and $4,400 out of 16.

Nut.

Everyone has long known the taste and useful qualities of this product. The most expensive nut in the world is considered to be macadamia. Once upon a time, this was the main dish of the Australian aborigines, but today it is considered the rarest, moreover useful, delicacy. Currently, all two types of this nut are grown. The rarity of the product is given by the fact that the macadamia tree, although it bears fruit for up to a hundred years, needs special care. Therefore, there are difficulties with the cultivation of nuts and its extraction — as a result, no more than 40 tons of it are produced per year. As a result, in those countries where this nut grows, the cost per 1 kilogram exceeds $ 30. Of course, dishes with such a nut are very valuable and expensive.

It is recognized as the most expensive spice. Saffron is essentially the stamens of a plant from the crocus family. This spice is prepared by hand — first carefully collected, and then dried. To get a kilogram of saffron, it is necessary to collect almost half a million stamens. It is not surprising that the price of a kilogram of real saffron reaches six thousand dollars.

White truffle.

The exact price for this delicacy simply does not exist, since each mushroom is sold at auction. The record cost of the mushroom was more than 30 thousand euros.

Dark chocolate.

Potato.

And the presence of this product in the list may seem ridiculous, however, this dish may not be cheap. The most expensive potato in the world of the "La Bonnotte" variety costs around 500 euros per kilogram. The root crop grows on the island of Nurmuatye, the delicacy is harvested by hand, of course. A distinctive feature of the dish is the unusually delicate taste of potatoes.

Beef.

The most expensive meat in the world is the marbled beef of Japanese Wagyu cows. The animals are surrounded by special care and care. They are given beer and sake every day, and only the best herbs are used for food. For a long time, the Japanese prevented the export of cows for breeding in other places, but today these animals are bred in Australia. But it only led to an increase in the cost of meat, because the Australians went even further in caring for these cows. So, if you want to taste the taste of marbled beef, prepare a purse. For 200 grams of fillet, you will have to pay more than $ 100 in Europe, and the most tender pieces reach up to $ 1,000 in their value.

One hundred grams of delicacy cost two thousand dollars.

Coffee.

The most expensive coffee in the world — "Kopi Luwak" — is made from grains not of some unique variety, but rather of a unique way of life. "Kopi" means "coffee" in Indonesian, and "Luwak" is a small small predator that likes to eat ripe fruits of the coffee tree, choosing the best ones. He eats a lot more coffee than he can digest. Undigested grains, after passing through the intestines of an animal, are exposed to its enzymes and, as fans of Kopi Luwak swear, acquire a unique taste and aroma. A kilogram of coffee, which luvak helped to be born, costs from 300 to 400 dollars.

Tea.

The most expensive tea in the world is called Dahongpao, which means "Big red robe". It refers to oolongs (teas of strong fermentation, having an intense taste and aroma). They get a "Big red robe" from a leaf of only six bushes growing near the Tianxin Monastery. The age of these unique bushes is 350 years. No more than 500 grams of the legendary tea were collected every year, the cost of the finished product reached 685 thousand dollars per kilogram. In 2006, the entire harvest was transferred to the Chinese National Tea Museum for storage, and a moratorium was declared on further collection. However, since the 80s of the last century, maternal bushes have been propagated in a vegetative way. The tea obtained from them is also called the "Big Red Robe", but experts believe that it does not go to any comparison with the real Dahongpao.
