Whole sprigs of quality Spanish saffron in a plastic box. Saffron grows mainly in Spain, and that's where the best quality comes from. Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world and actually the most expensive food - by weight. Saffron has a golden-red color and a hay-like, slightly metallic smell. It has a high content of vitamin B. The spice is obtained from the dried red scar of Saffron.

120,000 saffron flowers are needed to produce one kilogram of the spice, which are, of course, picked by hand. In Spain, it is a key ingredient in fish and rice dishes, the French also use it most often with fish, the Italians in risottos, and in Britain it is most often added to sweet cakes and liqueurs. Many Indian cooks also add a sprig of saffron to the spice mix they use to season basmati rice.
