Guess the price of the Mango? Yubari King Melon: One of the most expensive fruits in the world. Abundant in the southern hemisphere, exotic fruits were once a rarity throughout the rest of the world, and were much more expensive than you could ever imagine. For example pineapples were brought by Christopher Columbus from the Caribbean at the end of the 15th century, and in the 18th century, a pineapple's value was the equivalent of $8,000 today. A luxury fruit parlor in Tokyo sells this box of 12 perfectly matched Senbikiya Queen Strawberries for $83. Evenly colored and blemish free, they are so perfect that they seem unreal. However, don't let yourself be fooled, as they are probably the sweetest tasting strawberries you've ever tried. Harvested in perfectly weathered greenhouses, these are sold for $7 per strawberry, and 12 of these weigh less than half a pound. Senbikiya, the most expensive fruit shop in the world, can easily be compared to a jewelry shop, and everything comes with a matching price tag. Nevertheless, they still sell an average 50 boxes of strawberries a day. They were a symbol of wealth and only the rich could afford to place one on their tables.
