Saffron

Ingredient

The dried stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, saffron is the world's most expensive spice by weight, requiring around 75,000 flowers to produce 500 g. It imparts a vivid golden colour and a distinctively floral, slightly honeyed flavour to dishes such as paella, bouillabaisse, and risotto milanese.
