Harvesting Saffron
Each Saffron thread is one of just three that can be harvested from each bulb. As dawn breaks, skilled farmers head to the fields to handpick the delicate crimson stigmas of the saffron crocus. It's a race against the sun, as the flowers must be harvested before they fully open. Each flower offers only three red threads, making the process as meticulous as it is poetic. The threads are then air-dried, preserving their vibrant hue and soul-stirring aroma.
