Classic Saffron Rice image

Saffron is the stigma of the fall-flowering crocus. These stigma are worth thousands of dollars per pound. Saffron is so valuable because it is a very labor-intensive crop; only 5-7 pounds of saffron can be produced from each acre of land. This makes saffron the most expensive spice by weight.
