Spanish Saffron Crocus sativus 14 g .5 OZ FRESH!

Net weight is 15 grams / .5 OZ

Saffron is, ounce for ounce, the most expensive and precious spice in the world!

Saffron threads are actually the dried stigmas of the saffron flower. These are picked by hand, and 75,000 flowers are needed to make just one pound of spice!

Use sparingly, as Saffron has a very strong flavor and bright orange-yellow color.

Be careful buying Saffron: Sometimes Safflower is sold as Saffron. Never buy ground Saffron. It is probably really safflower.
