The world is crazy about the unknown. Exotic foods have become an integral part of our menu. And rightly so – they are super healthy.
And although the spiritual teacher Deunov advises us to consume foods that are typical only for our region, the fashion for new foods is consuming us more and more. Many of them are not typical for our latitudes and travel thousands of kilometers before they end up in our stores.
And if you're wondering which product holds the top spot on the world's most luxurious food, let us tell you that it's beluga caviar. This exotic food in gastronomy costs more than $5, 000 per kilogram. The high price is determined by the fact that this type of fish lives only in the Caspian Sea and specimens must mature for more than 20 years before their violet-black caviar is edible.
Leaving this delicacy aside, healthy products should not be neglected, but should be a main part of our menu. For those cases when you want to diversify from the usual salad and noodles, in the gallery above you can view the top 10 of the most exotic foods with incredible benefits for our health.
