- Origin Saffron is made of the dried stigmas of crocus. They are removed from the blooming crocus flowers and dried in the sun or in the oven. The process of saffron production is long and difficult. In order to make 100g of saffron, 4500 thousand stigmas are needed. It is not surprising that saffron used to be and still remains a very expensive spice. Throughout Middle Ages merchant were able to earn a fortune by exporting and selling saffron, because only rich people could afford buying saffron at the time.
