Product description
Saffron is arguably the most expensive herb in the world, due to
amount of time and energy it takes to harvest. The
term saffron actually refers to the dried stigmas and top of the
saffron crocus, a type of flower similar to safflower.
In China, saffron grows predominantly in the Henan, Hebei,
Zhejiang, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. The stigmas are picked by
hand and dried. It takes approximately 75, 000 saffron flowers to
produce one pound of saffron
stigma. In many cultures, saffron is used as a spice and for
culinary purposes; however, it has many medicinal uses
