We’ve heard it all before: saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. But what does that actually mean? How expensive is expensive? Ah, there’s the rub.

The first thing to realize about saffron is that it’s not all created equal. That’s why it doesn’t make much sense to ask “how much should saffron cost”—because it’s a little like asking “how much should wine cost”. Are we talking about store brand table wine or the stuff that’s sold at auction?

The wholesale price of saffron ranges from around $1000 to $5000 per kilogram—obviously a huge difference. But there’s a good reason for this: because at the top end of the grading system, premium saffron is basically a different product altogether.

Without getting too deep into the specifics, you should be looking for saffron that is produced only from the very tips of the stigmas of the saffron crocus—the purest, most potent part of the flower. The “super negin” grade is really just a marketing fab, one of the lower grades of saffron you should even consider buying because it has a large portion of the yellow part of saffron stigma or thread, but for the absolute best results, you’re really going to want to go to the top of the stigma/ thread: All Red or “sargol” saffron. Ideally, you’ll want Persian/ Iranian saffron, which is considered by experts to be the best in the world from the motherland of Saffron.
