I enjoy eating a bunch of grapes,
but I am not sure I could manage a bunch of these,
each grape is bigger than a hens egg! all photographs VietnamNet FB Khuc Ngoc Anh,
Ms. Khuc
Ngoc Anh, the owner of a high-end fruit shop in Xuan La, Hanoi, was the one who
posted the photos of the VIP grapes when they arrived from Japan. She was
trying to get people interested, so she used an actual chicken egg to show just
how huge the grapes were. The technique worked, and in just a few minutes all
the 50 bunches she had ordered were sold,
Vietnamese
website VietnameNet was among the first outlets to feature
photos of the giant grapes, claiming that they were a new Japanese “VIP variety” sold at an amazing 7 million dong, at todays rate £225.33 or $301.33 per bunch, like all Japanese
novelty fruits, these grapes aren’t sold by weight, but by the bunch, with each
bunch having to abide by very strict quality standards. For example, these
ultra-rare grapes have to weigh at least 1kg per bunch, and each grape must be
between 4 and 5 cm in diameter in order qualify for commercialization and
export, the shop owner told VietnamNet that she is struggling to secure a new shipment,
because of how rare the new variety is, it seems strange, grapes that big, but I guess it is no different than biting into say a plum.
