Saffron is an especially rare spice whose scientific name is Crocus sativus. Growing and harvesting qualified saffron is not easy, because it requires different conditions. It may be interesting to know that 150,000 flowers and 400 hours of hand-picking are needed to have one kilogram of these stigmas. Therefore, the process of harvesting the product is laborious and time-consuming and requires a lot of human resources. Due to these factors, saffron has become the most expensive spice in the world. The aroma of saffron is due to the presence of a colorless essential oil containing tropen and an oxygenated compound with cineol called safranel. The taste of saffron is related to the bitter heteroside picrocrocin. The color of saffron is related to the presence of a substance called crocin.
