Saffron is produced from the saffron crocus flower (Crocus sativus). It is actually the dried stigmas (which are the insides of a flower that catch pollen) of the flower. The stigmas can only be picked by hand as machines are not delicate enough. Its value has been kept permanently high by labor-intensive harvesting methods that require around 500 stigmas from 160 flowers to produce 1 gram of saffron threads!
Saffron is valuable for its deep auburn colour and sweet flavour, as well as medicinal properties. Saffron contains several plant-derived chemical compounds that are known to have been anti-oxidant, disease preventing, and health promoting properties.
Just a pinch of fresh saffron is enough to enhance the flavor and color of the entire recipe.
