Most Expensive Vegetable Sells for Rs 85,000 Per Kg

Widely referred to as the world’s most expensive vegetable, hop shoots are the green tips of the hop plant.

The hop plant is commonly associated with beer - its flowers are used in the production of the alcoholic beverage.

Hop shoots, however, are not discarded after the flowers have been harvested.

Instead, these green tendrils have managed to carve a niche for themselves in the culinary world.

A kilogram of hop shoots can go for 1,000 GBP or anywhere between Rs 85,000 to Rs 1 lakh in the international market.

These shoots are expensive because growing and harvesting them is labor-intensive, “back-breaking” work.
