Explanation

Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world by weight, derived from the Crocus sativus flower. Each flower produces only 3 stigmas (saffron threads), and it requires approximately 75,000-150,000 flowers to produce just 1 pound of saffron, making it extremely labor-intensive and costly.
