More expensive than gold. Harvested by hand at dawn. There is a reason saffron costs what it does, and it is not what you think.

@frdvil.bsky.social#Saffron harvest: a few years ago, my son gave me about 20 saffron crocus bulbs ( #Crocussativus )
They have since multiplied, and today marks the start of harvesting the 3 red stigmas! 😀🌱
@dryora.bsky.socialWhat Is Saffron, Really??
Saffron is the dried stigma of Crocus sativus, a flowering plant that blooms for just 2-3 weeks each year. Each flower produces only three tiny red stigmas. That's it. Nothing else.
And the rest, the yellow style & petals—is discarded.
