    Saffron Why So Expensive

    Uploaded by

    Am Mh
    Saffron is the world's most expensive spice due to the labor-intensive process required to harvest it. It takes over 75,000 saffron flowers, which must be harvested by hand, to produce just one pound of the spice. Each flower has only three thin red stigmas, which must be carefully plucked. The small per-plant yield and manual labor driving harvesting costs make saffron significantly more expensive than other spices.
