How delicious is the pineapple that costs over 10 million VND/fruit?

The pineapple, which sells for about 10 million VND per fruit, is described as having a sweet taste and an eye-catching appearance with a bright red color.

Pineapple is a familiar tropical fruit to Vietnamese people. In Vietnamese markets, pineapples are available almost all year round. In season, the price of pineapples ranges from 8,000 - 35,000 VND/fruit, depending on the type and size. Photo: Internet

Billed as a “rare gem” and “the pinnacle of luxury fruit,” the pineapple is called Rubyglow. Photo: Fresh Del Monte

This is a product of Del Monte, a fruit wholesaler specializing in pineapples, which took a decade and a half to develop this red pineapple. Photo: Fruitnet

Rubyglow pineapples have bright red skin and a sweet honey-like taste, and are the result of crossbreeding a regular pineapple and an inedible purple pineapple. Photo: Robb Report

According to the supplier, only a few thousand are released to the market each year because each fruit is grown from a limited supply of seeds and takes about two years to develop. Photo: Los Angeles Times

Due to its high price, Rubyglo pineapple is only for a small number of customers, not for everyone. Photo: Times

However, the distributor imported 50 pineapples and sold half of them within half a month. Photo: Getty

However, many chefs at high-end restaurants consider the $400 price tag too steep. It seems that buyers of Rubyglow pineapples are more attracted to the unusual appearance than the quality. Photo: Better Homes & Gardens
