Saffron Threads Pure (1g)

Origin:  Iran

Why is saffron so expensive?  Each saffron flower only produces 3 threads and the plants require pollination by human hand.  It can take thousands of flowers just to get 30grams!

Saffron has a delicate earthy and sweet flavour with a little hint of bitterness, you will note some floral and honey notes as well.  Mostly used in curries, risottos and meat casseroles.
