Yes, saffron typically costs more than $3,000 per pound. It is one of the most expensive spices in the world due to the labor-intensive process of harvesting, which involves hand-picking the delicate stigma from the saffron crocus flower.

Prices can vary based on quality and origin, but they often exceed this threshold.

Saffron, with the botanical name crocus sativus, is the most expensive spice in the world.

The flowers have to be individually hand-picked in the autumn when fully open. Fortunately, only a little needs to be added to a dish to lend it colour and aroma; too much makes the food bitter
