Each delicate purple crocus flower blooms just once a year — and inside are only 3 tiny red threads of saffron. Every morning during harvest, the flowers must be hand-picked and the stigmas carefully separated. 💎 It takes about 75,000 flowers to make just one pound of saffron — that’s why it’s worth more than gold! The magic? Those little red threads add the golden color, rich aroma, and incredible health benefits that saffron is famous for. 🌿 This is the moment we wait for all year… would you

Saffron comes from Crocus sativus, the saffron crocus. Each flower produces just three red stigmas, all picked by hand in autumn. After harvesting, the threads are gently dried, concentrating their colour, aroma, and flavour. #saffron #crocus #harvest #spices #nature | Portnoo Market Garden
