What is saffron pistil?
The saffron pistil comes from a flower called crocus. It is rare and precious, which is why it is called the red gold of Morocco. The extraction is done manually, there are three filaments on each flower. The harvest always takes place before the first dew of the morning. Iran dominates the world market. They are also found in India, Spain, Italy and Morocco.
