Most expensive potatoes to go on sale at Tesco
The world’s “most expensive and exclusive” potatoes are to go on sale across the UK for the first time this week at a major supermarket.
The variety, La Bonnotte, which is normally only grown on a small island off France, can sell for up to £400 per kilogram, reported the Belfast Telegraph.
However, Tesco has sourced a new supply, grown on Jersey, and will be selling them for the equivalent of £2.65 per kilo.
La Bonnotte commands a high price because normally only about 20,000kg is grown each year and they are handpicked because they are too fragile to be cultivated by machine.
