Harvesting Saffron is the most laborious activity.One flower only produces vibrant, vermillion  colored stigmas & it takes almost 150 flowers to produce 1 gram of saffron. Hence, Saffron (Kesar) is the most expensive spice in the world. Kashmiri Mongra (Top part of Saffron Strand) is the best, finest A1 grade quality of Kesar.”
