Most Expensive Food In The World

Have you ever wondered what the most expensive food in the world might be? Here’s a fun and informative list of the top 14.

OYSTERS

After the continuous farming of oysters drastically altered the number available, it has quickly become a luxury food. Currently, it costs $24-$100 per dozen, depending on the quality and where you purchase them.

VANILLA BEANS

Currently, the price for vanilla beans is about $300 per pound. Many people have begun using artificial vanilla extract instead, which is cultivated in a lab and offers a more budget-friendly price.

KOPI LUWAK COFFEE BEANS

This is the most expensive coffee worldwide, with a price set at $250 to $1200 per kg (about $114-$550 per pound). Their particular process is what adds to the price tag.

As the number of available mushrooms declines, the current matsutake mushrooms cost is around $1,000 per pound.

MATSUTAKE  MUSHROOMS

Saffron is the red-orange stigmas that grow inside the crocus flowers. These can be removed by hand and are harvested only a few times annually.  Due to the hard labor required, there is a cost of about $500-$2,000 per pound of saffron.
