Saffron is a highly prized spice derived from the dried stigmas of the crocus flower, specifically Crocus sativus. It is renowned for its distinctive golden-yellow hue, subtle flavor, and aroma. Saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world due to its labor-intensive harvesting process, where each flower provides only three stigmas that must be handpicked.
