“SAFFRON”
THE
MOST EXPENSIVE SPICE IN THE WORLD.
BUT
WHY IS SAFFRON SO EXPENSIVE ????
Costing a gram of superior grade saffron for $7, and an even finer quality for $9.
Saffron
is so expensive because the spice comes from only the three tiny threadlike
stigmas present in the flower of the plant (Orange color threads in picture # 1)
150
flowers and significant labor are needed to produce a single gram of saffron.
Saffron
is expensive, but its taste is worth the price J
I
cannot imagine making Indian Desserts and Puddings without Saffron. Kesar Peda, Kesar Srikhand, Kesar Rice Pudding and Rava Kesari and list goes on and on........
