The most precious and most expensive spice in the world: Saffron.
The Saffron filaments, or threads, are actually the dried stigmas of
the saffron flower, "Crocus Sativus Linneaus". Each flower contains
only three stigmas. These threads must be picked from each flower by
hand, and more than 75,000 of these flowers are needed to produce just
one pound of Saffron filaments, making it the world most precious
spice.
But, because of saffron's strong coloring power and intense flavor, it
can be used sparingly. Saffron is used both for its bright
orange-yellow color and for its strong, intense flavor and aroma.
