Saffron is also called Zafran, is derived from a plant known as Crocus sativus. The Crocus has delicate, dried, thread-like flowers that are carefully handpicked. Each flower has only three threads, carefully plucked and dried. Because of the labour needed to handpick each strand, it is also the world's most expensive spice. It has various medicinal benefits, which is why, despite its cost, it is still high in demand.
