Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice, derived from the dried, vivid crimson stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. Renowned for its unique, pungent aroma, hay-like taste, and powerful yellow-orange coloring, it is hand-harvested from millions of flowers, giving it the nickname “red gold”. It is primarily used in culinary dishes like paella and risotto, as well as in traditional medicines.
