Saffron Harvest | What is Organic | Video | Veria Living

http://www.veria.com/

In this video from Veria Living we see What is Organic and why it takes 14 months to grow a single saffron flower, which itself usually contains about three tiny strands of the coveted herb. Saffron has long been used in cooking and was once a treatment for a long list of maladies.

That is nuts. This is why that spice is so expensive

[veriawellness]

@clayto1332 Exactly. Do you use it often in your cooking?

[clayto1332]

@veriawellness No, but I occasionally make some kebab koobideh (iranian kebab) and it is always good with a bit of saffron!

[veriawellness]

@clayto1332 That's a dish you don't find everywhere... maybe you want to share your recipe with us? :)

saffron is very expensive, at a point it may just not be worth it. Taste it without thinking of it as luxurious, just a normal spice. IF you like it then keep buying it. But if you only like it for the huge price, don't buy anymore

@clayto1332 my uncle was involved with a persian food industry. So supplies is not so expensive for us i guess, because of bulk purchases for a big factory making snacks. Im not wasting money on random stuff

[clayto1332]

@donttakefakecredit That seems like alot to spend on spice alone. You must cook with it alot! Can I come over?

[donttakefakecredit]

@clayto1332 i buy it by the pound to make my house smell nice, persian saffron, fresh, it cost me about $8,000 a pound fresh import

[veriawellness]

@kongloud Wow, hope you find a buyer for that... :)

[clayto1332]

@veriawellness Sorry, it took me a very long time to figure out and is a closely guarded secret :) Your only hint is there is saffron.
