Saffron is the golden stigma of the purple fall crocus flower, and it is the world’s most expensive spice. Only five to seven pounds of saffron can be produced from an entire acre of land. The flavor of saffron, however, is very concentrated. It is an effective stimulant and digestive, increasing the flow of saliva and digestive juices. Maximizing the flavor involves infusing a couple of threads in a spoonful of hot milk or water for five minutes.
