Saffron, Spanish Mancha

Saffron is the most expensive spice on Earth. It takes more than 75,000 hand-picked blossoms, each of which has 3 saffron strands, to make a pound of saffron. Each strand must be hand-picked from the flower, so there are approximately 225,000 hand-picked strands per pound. An acre of crocus sativus produces only 2-1/2 pounds of saffron.

Classic ingredient in bouillabaisse, risotto milanese, Spanish paella, curries and arroz con pollo (rice and chicken).

Finding a niche between gourmet and healthy, The Spice Hunter offers more than just flavor. The Spice Hunter has developed a unique line of products that serve the needs of gourmet and natural food consumers.
