Pearl White strawberries are now available in the United States…if you’re willing to pay big bucks for them.
Luxury fruit retailer Ikigai Fruits is shipping its produce to America. Bright-red Kotoka strawberries start at $89 dollars for 500 grams…and a combination of Kokota, Awayuki, and Pearl White strawberries will set you back $780.
Crown melons will cost $128 each.
These fruits require hours of constant monitoring, and the growing process is usually done manually. Farmers may even place a hat on some fruits to guard them from the sun.
“Only the cream of the crop make the cut, which is why these fruits are so rare and treasured,” Ikigai said.
