Saffron is considered valuable. No wonder! The African spice consists of the flower styles of a type of crocus that blooms in autumn. Then the pickers go into the fields and collect the threads. Each crocus flower only has three of them. For one kilogram of saffron you need 150000 to 200000 flowers. A picker only manages 60 to 80 grams per day. This is why saffron is also known as red gold.
