KEY INFORMATION
- Saffron comes from the carefully dried pistils of the crocus \"Crocus sativus\", an evergreen plant. Each flower has three female pistils and two male stamens. Each pistil looks the same; it is red or dark red at the tip and yellow on the lower part where they join the plant. Saffron has a bitter taste and a strong, sharp, penetrating smell and the taste, aroma and color of Saffron are only contained in the red part of the pistil. Harvesting threads from the crocus plants is very work intensive. To make up 1gm of saffron, 570 pistils are required. Based on three pistils per flower, we need on average 190 flowers in order to obtain one gram of saffron.
