It takes more than 150,000 handpicked purple crocus flowers to make one kilogram of saffron. Saffron being the most expensive spice in the world can cost more by the ounce than gold.
Iranians believe saffron serves as a natural antidepressant and helps fight Alzheimer’s and cancer. It is usually ground and mixed with hot water before being added to foods such as rice.
Saffron, king of all spices is derived from the flower of crocus sativus. Iran is responsible for around 90-93% of global production, which comes mainly from Iran’s drier eastern and southeastern provinces.
Saffron flowers which blossom only a few weeks every autumn are harvested early in the morning. Each flower has three tiny red stigmas which have to be carefully handpicked.
