Why Saffron Is The World's Most Expensive Spice

Harvesting saffron requires a lot of physical labor to get the flowers from the field to final packaging. The harvesting process plus its distinct flavor, smell, and color make it the most expensive spice in the world. It's used in kitchens across the world, as a fabric and skin dye, and may soon be used more widely for medicinal purposes.

[@IDK-iq3kx]

Joaquin Au you prolly don’t have good quality saffron

[@behradh]

@Joaquin Au Yea if you tasted plastic in saffron that's probably what they sold you as saffron. I was born in Iran, the capital of saffron in the world, and had the opportunity to taste the real deal and it's unlike any other spice. Actually in Iran we don't call it a spice, because it's not even in the same league as salt or pepper, saffron is saffron, it's not a spice. The problem is because of politics Iran can't really export anything straightforwardly, so what I had in Iran is pretty hard to come by elsewhere although you can find it in some Iranian supermarkets if you live in a major city in the US or Europe.

[@behradh]

​@Joaquin Au What do you mean? You know you shouldn't just dump saffron into water there is a making process. I know the method is different for every country but you can also try the Iranian method, search youtube for Persian rice, or any persian dish and stew, and most of them include saffron.

I use saffron daily as a health support. I use it to avoid migraines and also to ease depression. I have been off anti depressants for almost 3 months. I put about 8-10 strands in my mouth and let them stay there for 10-15mins. They become hydrated with salvia, then I chew it. I used to wash it down with water, now I just leave it so I get little bonus bits for a few hours haha. It also helps with gum inflammation and mild tooth aches. Just keep moving the strands back to the point of pain and wait 15mins and it will offer mild relief. Really hope this helps someone. I'm from Australia, where I live we have a large multi cultural community, so I purchase saffron from Afgan or Idian supply shops for $20 AUD for 5gms. I really happy with that because used to be about $12 AUD for 0.1g from major supermarket.

You're not the only one who noticed this effect. Interesting. To get the most out of it try a tea.

Milk and kheer with saffron is the best thing i have ever eaten😋. And also the smell in biriyani

[@joumanarashad4781]

To everyone who responds to people who use saffron with "Are you rich!?": Saffron is very expensive in large amounts, but you only need to use a very small amount of saffron to make several servings of the food in question. A small glass vial or saffron costs around $6, and I'm pretty sure you could make a lot of food with that. So no, you don't need to be rich to use saffron. Also: Saffron comes in many grades. High quality saffron is very expensive. The saffron in the video sounds like it's high grade saffron.

_ _ I bought a jar a few years ago for around 6 bucks and still have half of it and we use it a few times a week. A small amount is plenty.

[@saamalam2738]

Nobody if it's not Iranian, it's not proper

[@hamidmaier]

very correct!! my family produce the good quality one, it costs up to 3000 us dollars per kilo and it's sold locally/ and yeah, consuming too much saffron can kill, it's poisonous ... very small quantities suffice...

[@Gutians]

Nobody try Persian its much better.

[@nikayazdani2162]

Glad you picked a Persian expert since it is primarily from that area. I also must say that saffron is mostly produced in Iran not just cause of cheap labor cause you find that in most of those other places he mentioned to, it’s definitely the climate and soil that bare this type of plant easier than other places

[@martell203]

You know they have to throw in anti-Iranian propaganda everywhere they can.

[@FyFanNollan]

Yes, I was going to say that too! Mersi, dawsh

[@abbottagro]

Absolutly right, cheap labour is not the only factore, the main factor is ideal climate.

[@perla51]

[@RebelleGameOfficial]

Never had it. Is it good?

[@joumanarashad4781]

Rebelle It's a spice that's mostly used for coloring food, but it has a very subtle taste to it. It's spicy and kinda sweet, but slightly bitter. Adding only two or three threads to a pot of food will be enough to flavor the entire thing.

[@a.r2510]

For people who are curious about the taste: (I'm Iranian and we use it a lot)😊 Saffron doesn't have any taste but when it's ready to use, it has a golden red-yellow color and the smell is sooooo sweet that you might think the taste is sweet as well (but it's not!) The smell is like smell of flowers that makes you so fresh and happy!(Probably one of the best smells I've ever tried❤) Couple of drops of that can give the food a strong yellow color.😍

[@a.r2510]

And for those who are curious how does it smells sweet but does not have any taste: Let me give you an example of something you've probably tried. As you know rose water smells so nice and fresh but it doesn't have any specific taste. Saffron is the same!

The area under cultivation of saffron in Kashmir (IOK) is about 5700 Hectare.The quality of saffron of Kashmir is best over the world. Kashmiri Saffron alone has a distinguishing feature of long stigmas with thick heads making it "Worlds Best Saffron".
