Why saffron is the most expensive spice in the world?

It is a complicated and tricky plant to grow. The nature of the plant demands for huge land space and careful human cultivation. ‘Stigmata’ is a small part of the flower which is dried and used as the spice. It takes around 50,000 flowers to get just 250 grams of spice. And the process requires skilled labors for a quality yield.

The cultivated plant requires well dried and rich soil with a full sunny summer climate. Iranian saffron is popular worldwide.

How to identify the pure saffron from adulterated saffron:

One of the common methods to identify the pure spice is by cold water test. Take a few threads and put it in cold water. Both adulterated and pure saffron will release a golden hue color in the water but the purest one will take a minimum of 10 minutes to release the golden hue color. On the other hand, the adulterated saffron releases the color instantly once the threads get mixed with water.
