First of all, after reading this, a thought must have come to your mind that by eating such a fruit, buy only a good diamond, at least it will get profit. But do you know that people in Japan even get auctioned for this fruit.
In India, where people go to each other’s house, they take expensive expensive gifts, but in Japan, people like to give fruits to each other as gifts. Now you must be thinking that what is it in Japan that fruits are so expensive. Let us know which is such a melon whose value is more than gold.
The name of this fruit included in the world’s most expensive fruit is Yubri melon, but this fruit is cultivated only in Japan. Along with this, this fruit is rarely exported to other countries. The most special thing about this fruit is that this fruit is not grown in direct sunlight i.e. directly in the field, but is grown in the greenhouse.
In fact, the farmers here pay a lot of attention to the size of the fruit. If the fruit is not of the right size, then it is not used. For example, Hokkaido melon is considered good only when this melon appears completely round in shape. Apart from this, its weight should also be in the prescribed standard. The same applies to other fruits in Japan.
Obviously not every watermelon can be the same, which is why in Japan a lot of watermelons are wasted due to lack of the right size and only a few watermelons and melons are sent to the market. Hence they become very expensive. Sometimes these fruits are auctioned and their price reaches in lakhs.
For your information, let us tell you that the price of a Yubari musk melon found in Japan is 10 lakhs in Indian currency. Two melons are available for Rs 20 lakh. In the year 2019, these melons were auctioned for Rs 33,00,000. This orange looking fruit from inside is very sweet.
