PHOTO-The world's Most Expensive Watermelon

 

The Dansuke Watermelon which cost $6,100 is the world's most expensive watermelon.

In a country where watermelons are rare game, they can be a costly commodity. That’s how this 17-pound Japanese watermelon became the most expensive watermelon in the world. Densuke watermelons, a type of black watermelon grown only on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, are usually given as gifts due to their extraordinary rarity. There were only sixty-five of the fruits among the first harvest this season. They are harder and crisper than the watermelons we are used to and,  they “have a different level of sweetness.”
