Herat, Afghanistan
Saffron
Hand-harvested saffron threads from the highlands of Herat, Afghanistan, where the world's most prized crocus grows. Deep crimson stigmas carry a honeyed, floral aroma and the unmistakable golden color and earthy-sweet flavor that define paella, risotto, biryani, and Persian rice. Sold by the ounce, and a pinch steeped in warm water goes a remarkably long way.
