Saffron is a precious spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the “saffron crocus.” The vivid crimson stigmas and styles, known as threads, are meticulously collected and dried to be used primarily as a seasoning and colouring agent in culinary dishes. Renowned for its unique flavour, aroma, and vibrant hue, saffron has long held the title of the world’s most expensive spice by weight. Its luxurious essence enhances a wide range of recipes, from savoury to sweet, making it a coveted ingredient in kitchens around the globe.
