Its unique properties make it the most expensive spice in the world. It can be used to modify the color, the smell and the flavor of food without everlasting effects on the house. It can also be used to make a delicious tea and its most popular use can be found in the Spanish paella. Furthermore, the saffron has exceptional health qualities as it is a natural antioxidant and has proven to be a valuable resource in traditional medicine. Production Saffron is mostly grown in Iran but it is used all the way from western Europe to India. All these peoples appreciate the multiple qualities of saffron and we want to bring this "golden spice" to the most advanced country in the world. Planting happens in the beginning of summer and the flowers bloom in mid-autumn. Because the saffron itself is only a small part of the flower, over 1 pound of flowers is needed to produce 6 grams of dried Saffron. This means around 900 flowers are needed to produce 6 grams of dried Saffron.
