Saffron is a spice derived from the dried stigmas of the flower Crocus sativus. It’s known as one of the most expensive spices in the world because harvesting requires careful hand-picking of each tiny stigma. Beyond its culinary use for color, aroma, and flavor, saffron has also been used traditionally in medicine and cosmetics.
