Saffron is the stigma part of the crocus flower (Crocus sativus). The plant is indigenous to Western Asia and has been cultivated for thousands of years. With the opening of East and West trading saffron was introduced to Europe. The French, Spanish and Italians were the first to use it extensively in their cooking. The worlds largest producer of saffron is Iran followed by Greece, Spain and India. Saffron is one of the worlds most expensive spices since it is hand picked and handled very delicately. It requires over 80,000 individual flowers to produce a full pound of saffron! Click on flowers for more facts.
