A wide variety of fruits and vegetables are available all over the world, including in India. The price of fruits in India is usually between Rs. 400 to Rs. 500 per kg.
Everyone from young to old loves to eat watermelon in summer. In summer, the price of watermelon goes up or down according to the demand. But the watermelon we are going to tell you about is an auction and not everyone can buy it.
This unique watermelon is found in Japan. Which is considered to be the most expensive watermelon in the world. This watermelon of the genus Densuke is also known as Black Watermelon. It is found only in the northern part of Hokkaido Island, Japan. The production of this rare watermelon was very low.
The most annoying thing is that the Densuk species of watermelon produces only 100 nagas in a year. Therefore, it is rarely found in the fruit market.
This watermelon of the Dansuk species is so special that it is auctioned every year and is not sold in shops. These watermelons fetch huge bids and cost millions of rupees.
The watermelon of this species had fetched a bid of Rs 4.5 lakh in the 2019 auction. Now, like everything else, the corona has hit these watermelons too.
The watermelon is one of the most expensive and rare watermelons in the world, despite the sharp fall in prices during the last two years during the Corona epidemic.
This watermelon looks bright and dark on the outside. And the inside is dark red. This watermelon is sweeter and tastier than other watermelons. It also has very low seed content.
Only the first crop of watermelon is so expensive. The following Kalingads are sold for up to Rs. 19,000. But still this watermelon is many times more expensive than other watermelons.
