World`s Most Expensive Food

affron - Crocus sativus pronounced [SAF-ruhn] is the world's most expensive spice. Saffron are the stigmas from the crocus sativus flower (see image below). There are only 3 stigmas (referred to as saffron threads) per flower. Saffron is hand harvested so you can understand why it is so prized and so expensive. It takes about 13,125 threads to weigh one ounce. 2700 pounds ang per pound nito..

















This is the largest of the species of Sturgeon in the Caspian Sea. The Beluga grow up to about 2,000 pounds and yield the largest "berries" (as the caviar grains are called) of all the species; Beluga do not begin to bear eggs until they are about 20 years old. For this reason, and because it has the mildest flavor, Beluga is the most highly prized of all caviar.
What can you say to $2,400 for a one-pound ang presyo nito.
