There are many products in the world, a kilogram of which is very, very expensive - the price of some reaches tens of thousands of dollars. Moreover, such a high cost is not always due to nutritional value or taste - often the problem is that the products listed in this material simply disappear.

A mushroom, which costs about $ 600 per kilogram.
A Japanese mushroom that is very popular in Asian cooking. However, due to the fact that the number of fungi has significantly decreased due to insects (there is a risk of complete extinction), the mushroom is very expensive.
Kopi luwak
The cost of this coffee is up to $ 1200 per 1 kg.
Many people know about this coffee. The main feature of such a high price is the processing method. It turns out as follows: the musanka animals eat coffee beans, then they are digested in the stomach, after which they defecate the grains. After that, they are collected, washed, dried. Because of the gastric juice, the taste of the drink becomes unusual, which is its "trick".

At the last known auction, where tea was sold, only 20 g was bought for 25 thousand dollars.
