Saffron - one of the most expensive spices in the world

The high cost of this spice is to get one kilogram of finished product to grow about 170 000 colors.
The finished product sells for around $ 3500 per kilogram.
It was used as a means of imparting energy and love power to cure cataracts, as an antidote, and as incense, conquering bad smells.
