      @@mrwersa1 actually its tasty when its spicy its just that westerners are really sensitive to spice or cannot tolerate anything a little more than less .Eating spice is also very good for health and heart and increase tge activity of brain.Ever wondered why Asians eat a lot of spice because theres a lot of benefits and proven theories behind it?But no offense ,all countries have different standards in different things.

    It does not matter how expensive saffron.The main taste of Iranian food is completed with saffron. If you come to Iran one day, try saffron Plo, saffron ice cream and saffron kebab chicken.

    I planted 100 saffron bulbs earlier this Autumn in a garden raised bed here in the southern Willamette Valley. The bulbs came from a family farm in France. It was a real pleasure to harvest our first homegrown saffron threads. The flavor is incredible and the color very strong. Thanks for posting this video. I enjoyed it very much.

      @Joaquin Au Yea if you tasted plastic in saffron that's probably what they sold you as saffron. I was born in Iran, the capital of saffron in the world, and had the opportunity to taste the real deal and it's unlike any other spice. Actually in Iran we don't call it a spice, because it's not even in the same league as salt or pepper, saffron is saffron, it's not a spice. The problem is because of politics Iran can't really export anything straightforwardly, so what I had in Iran is pretty hard to come by elsewhere although you can find it in some Iranian supermarkets if you live in a major city in the US or Europe.

    • @behradh

      ​@Joaquin Au What do you mean? You know you shouldn't just dump saffron into water there is a making process. I know the method is different for every country but you can also try the Iranian method, search youtube for Persian rice, or any persian dish and stew, and most of them include saffron.

      Saffron though (unlike diamonds) has legitimate supply side pressure
      as crops often fail in certain regions or sudden climatic/ weather issues spoil the quality.
      it is the corporate level players in the diamond industry that keep the rock prices unrealistic.

    To everyone who responds to people who use saffron with "Are you rich!?":
    Saffron is very expensive in large amounts, but you only need to use a very small amount of saffron to make several servings of the food in question. A small glass vial or saffron costs around $6, and I'm pretty sure you could make a lot of food with that.
    So no, you don't need to be rich to use saffron.

    I use saffron daily as a health support. I use it to avoid migraines and also to ease depression. I have been off anti depressants for almost 3 months. I put about 8-10 strands in my mouth and let them stay there for 10-15mins. They become hydrated with salvia, then I chew it. I used to wash it down with water, now I just leave it so I get little bonus bits for a few hours haha. It also helps with gum inflammation and mild tooth aches. Just keep moving the strands back to the point of pain and wait 15mins and it will offer mild relief. Really hope this helps someone.
    I'm from Australia, where I live we have a large multi cultural community, so I purchase saffron from Afgan or Idian supply shops for $20 AUD for 5gms. I really happy with that because used to be about $12 AUD for 0.1g from major supermarket.

Should have a golden colour, and a warm, pleasant aroma.

    Saffron doesn't have any taste but when it's ready to use, it has a golden red-yellow color and the smell is sooooo sweet that you might think the taste is sweet as well (but it's not!)
    The smell is like smell of flowers that makes you so fresh and happy!(Probably one of the best smells I've ever tried❤)

    Flowers tend to have shallow root systems let us assume this is true also with Saffron.
    So, grow it in those gardening trays that are very modular and mobile.
    Have the trays run through picking station factories, use tools similar to remote surgery tools. You don't need super super high quality ones either, you just need to have cameras to help the software that controls them locate the stamens to pick them.
    You can train your picking algorithms on cheap flowers with similar general shapes and vaguely similar color contrasts. Should not be SUPER hard to beat 5000 USD a pound if you can get a set up running over 30 pounds a year.
    Yes, according to the video they are getting yields of 4 lbs an arce in the hills of Iran. Remember they probably aren't bothering to fertilize and that this is outside. What you might want to be doing is to grow test beds of flowers and be on the look out for plants with more than 3 stamens or plants with more than the normal number of flowers or even just larger stamens. You also want to be looking out for flowers that open at abnormal times or just more often. These are the general types you want to breed to create your stocks.
    I am just an internet person and I am not a Saffron or any other type of farmer I am sure a commercial farmer could be even more effective, but it is obviously possible to cut out the human labor costs involved in a lot of the steps of harvest and preparation. Remember that Iran does not have the types of sophisticated robotic automated harvesting equipment that we have here in the States, not does it have the engineering to design variants adapted to this purpose.
    One should also take care to remember that using light capturing mirrors and refocusing you can even simulate different light levels than your current latitude has as well as trick the plants into thinking it is whatever season you want. Assuming this plant is as expensive as is stated and that the demand volume is there I would expect that some people will work out the rest of the kinks involved and drop the bottom out of this market.

      The most expensive Saffron comes from Morocco. I'm from Morocco and I can buy the Iranian Saffron for less price yet we know the quality may be different. Iran produces larger quality compared to Morocco though. In Morocco, saffron is harvested in a very small area in the South called Imin Tanout that's why it is extremly rare. The saffron from much is darker than the one that comes from Iran. It is also more dry and it gives a special distinctive flavour and more colour. The hot weather of this area combined with mounatnous breeze and a bit of rain during the rainy season is perfect to produce such high quality and flavour. This kind of weather also means that the saffron flower is too delicate and a season of drought can easily destroy the flowers.

      Someone would if there was enough demand for saffron in first-world countries that apply advanced scientific knowledge to agriculture and economics. A 46 metric ton per year demand in the U.S. is basically nothing, in economy-of-scale terms, so it's not really worth the up-front investment to anyone to set up an engineering effort to develop high-yield saffron. If the demand got up into the hundreds or thousands of tons, though, I'm sure you'd suddenly see high-efficiency automated saffron growing operations and new cultivars that produce way more yield.
