The Cultivation of Saffron

Saffron has grown slightly, in several places around France. Cultivation is relatively easy, you just have to get some corms, plant and red gold.
This could leave an idyllic and caricature impression and is not really far from the truth, but the real difficulty is the intense work needed to reap the plant that makes it so expensive
You really have to collect about 150,000 saffron blossoms to harvest a kilo of stigmas and about 5 kilos of stigmas to make a kilo of dry saffron usable as a spice.
