 Juicy and sweet, Japanese Yubari King melons are hybrids of two varieties of the more reasonably priced cantaloupes and are so expensive due to the incredible sweetness. Sold as pairs around 1.3kg (2.9lb) each, they’re considered a lavish gift in Japan, where they fetched a whopping $27,229 in an auction in 2017.

 Produced in Japan’s Ishikawa prefecture, top-quality Ruby Roman grapes grow to the size of ping pong balls but are extremely rare. Sometimes only one bunch per year meets the premium class standard and in 2018 the record for the most expensive bunch of grapes was broken as a 24-grape bunch sold for $11,139. This means an individual grape of around 26g (0.9oz) cost $462.

 A dark oolong tea that only grows in the rocky soil of China's Wuyi Mountains, this drink's legendary robust sweetness and lingering woody notes make it special. While reasonably good quality tea not from original trees can be bought for around $100 per kilogram (2.2lbs), aged and antique versions can reach eye-watering prices. Back in 2002, a collector was willing to shell out almost $28,000 for only 20g (0.7oz) of tea from one of the original mother trees, meaning a kilogram (2.2lbs) would cost $1.11 million.
