Why is caviar so expensive?
I am used to eating roadside food. Today, Sister Song still brings you a bite to eat the bankruptcy series. In the last issue, I said that the most expensive Michelin restaurants all use first-class ingredients. Today, we are not talking about any restaurants, but some rare and rare ingredients, each of which is the first-class price of real money and silver.

Do you know what is the most expensive food in the world? Do you know how precious it is to eat bankrupt caviar? Black gold caviar takes a hundred years to cultivate. Goose liver, truffles and caviar are called the three rare delicacies in the west, and the grains are all very expensive ingredients. But why are they all fish eggs, but caviar is so much more expensive than salmon eggs? Because the real caviar can only be made by one kind of fish, and it is sturgeon.

This kind of fish is a living fossil, and its life span can reach over 100 years old. Moreover, sturgeon is an endangered species. In order to supply caviar, most of them now obtain fish eggs by breeding sturgeon, but the time it takes to cultivate sturgeon until the fish eggs can be taken out is definitely beyond your imagination.

The highest grade caviar is produced by a rare species of sturgeon, and it takes at least 20 years for the sturgeon to obtain fish eggs.

Moreover, caviar is like good wine. The longer it is put in the fish, the better it tastes. Therefore, the top caviar needs to be taken out from the sturgeon over 60 years old. The most expensive caviar in the world is Iran, which is obtained from the extremely rare 100-year-old white sturgeon. Often, the price of a bottle of excellent caviar is about150,000 yuan, but it is not easy to take caviar out of the endangered white sturgeon, and most importantly, you may not be able to eat it if you have money. In order to maintain the number of this kind of fish, most of them are taken out by caesarean section. After the fish eggs are taken out, the sturgeon's body is stitched, and these sturgeons are taken care of in the way of treating women before they return to the waters of the group.
