sAFFRoN

Saffron ataupun zaafaran... adalah rempah ratus yg termahal di dunia.
Saintifik nama nya ialah Crocus sativus . 


Yang ni adalah saffron yg tlh dikeringkan.

There are only 3 stigmas (referred to as saffron threads) per flower. Saffron is hand harvested so you can understand why it is so prized and so expensive.  It takes about 13,125 threads to weigh one ounce.  ....from http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Articles/Exotic-Herbs-Spices-and-Salts-639/saffron.aspx
