The spice we think of when we hear the word "saffron" is only a small part of the plant itself. It is extremely expensive because, in order to make 1 pound of saffron, you use about 75000 saffron flowers! Chefs love it, that's why it is often used when cooking risotto. Use only a small pinch and enjoy its distinct flavor in this creamy risotto!
