Saffron

Saffron, one of the world’s most expensive spices, holds high value for its flavor and numerous health benefits. Its mood-enhancing properties and potential anticancer effects contribute to its allure.

The high cost of saffron, sometimes reaching up to $5000 per pound, reflects its labor-intensive cultivation process and its rarity. In saffron production, only the three red stigmas of the flower are used, contributing to the spice’s exclusivity and high value.
