Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. the reason for this is that it takes about 70000 average sized stigmas, ( though upwards of of 75-200000 is not un-heard of) from the purple saffron crocus flower to produce a pound of saffron. In addition, these stigmas must be hand-picked, which also drives up the cost.
