Juicy and sweet, Japanese Yubari King melons are hybrids of two varieties of the more reasonably priced cantaloupes and are so expensive due to the incredible sweetness. Sold as pairs around 1.3kg (2.9lb) each, they’re considered a lavish gift in Japan, where they fetched a whopping $27,229 in an auction in 2017.
