Saffron

Saffron is a spice derived from the stigmas of the flower Crocus sativus. Each flower only produces three filaments, harvested by hand during the autumn flowering and then carefully dried.

Used for several millennia, it is valued for its golden color and delicate fragrance, slightly floral and warm. A few threads are enough to flavor a dish.
