Obtained from the stigmas of the saffron crocus, #saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.
It is sometimes called for this reason "red gold". The stigma is the upper part of the pistil and each crocus has 3.
Some 150 saffron crocuses are needed for 1 g of saffron, and they are all picked by hand!
This explains the exclusive nature of this product. Fortunately, you only need a very small amount of this particular spice to add flavor, color and aroma to your dish, such as a delicious paella.
