All About Growing Saffron from Crocus Sativus Bulbs - Farmer Gracy

Saffron is a spice derived from the stigma of the Crocus sativus flower, known for its distinct flavor, aroma, and golden-yellow color. It is the world's most expensive spice due to the labor-intensive harvesting process, where each flower's three red stigmas are collected and dried by hand. Saffron is used in cooking to season dishes and provide color, and it also has a long history of use in traditional medicine, coloring textiles, and perfumery. .. .. .. ..
