Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, reaching prices beyond
$2,000 per pound (depending on season). Saffron is the three stigmas
and style of the crocus flower. Each stigma and style must be picked by
hand and it takes thousands to make a single ounce of the spice.
Brightly yellow in colour, the spice is used for colouring and subtle
flavouring of food. It has a bitter taste and a hay-like fragrance.
