Question: Saffron, the world’s most expensive spice, is derived from what source?
(Answer at the bottom of the newsletter.)

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇
A: the saffron crocus flower
Saffron is derived from the dried crimson-colored stigmas (tiny thread-like structures) of the saffron crocus flower (Crocus sativus). The high cost arises because each flower contains only three stigmas, which must be carefully hand-picked, requiring roughly 75,000 to 150,000 flowers to produce just one pound of spice.
Primarily grown in climates similar to Iran, Spain, and Greece.
