Description
You'd think what's the most expensive item by weight in the supermarket? Caviar or saffron, of course! But no. The real winner will surprise you. Imagine the price tag on a product you might otherwise skip.
For example, a gram of the best Iranian saffron can cost up to $30, while a wild white truffle from Alba, Italy, can cost up to $5,000 per kilogram. These delicacies are shockingly expensive.
But the absolute champion is edible gold. Ultra-thin sheets of 24-karat gold, used for decoration, are sold in some high-end supermarkets.
A small package weighing 0.1 grams can cost between $15 and $20. This translates to over $150,000 per kilogram – a price that makes even the most expensive saffron pale in comparison.
So, next time you pass by the shelves, remember: the most expensive item in your supermarket is not an exotic delicacy, but a literally shiny addition!
