If you think that it is a diamond or a valuable gift, let us tell you that it is not, it is a simple fruit, called "Roman Ruby" and it is the most expensive grape in the world.
The fruit grows in Japan, in the Chbu region, Ishikawa, and in 2020, it reached a record value of $11,000 a berry and $400 a grain!
This type of grape is characterized by its ruby red color and has a fantastic sweetness. It is only sold through auction and is endemic, as it only grows on Ishikawa.
The Roman Ruby grape ripens in July and has a perfect appearance, as each grape must be the same as the rest.
Of course, the light and temperature in which the grapes are exposed is monitored, as the Roman Rubin grapes are not always at the right standards.
It grows for 14 years, is super rare and has a uniform color, and is 4 times the size of a normal grape.
This type of grape was auctioned for the first time in 2008.
