Spices are quite an expensive food product, especially if we are talking about high-quality goods.

The spices that we are used to buying in stores seem inexpensive to us.

However, we are talking about only 15-20 grams of spices.

What spices are the most valuable in the world?

Wild Ginseng Root

Only a select few can afford such a unique product, because its cost can be around four thousand dollars, and we are talking about just one gram of the product.

If someone decides to buy the whole root, he will have to pay seventeen thousand dollars.

Saffron

This spice is actively used by chefs specializing in oriental cuisine. Saffron is considered expensive and rare, so you can’t buy it in every store.

For a gram of quality saffron you will have to pay at least six dollars.

Vanilla pods

This spice can usually only be found in specialized stores, as it is in demand only among connoisseurs and confectioners.

A kilogram of vanilla costs eight hundred dollars, making it quite expensive.
