Answer 2

Saffron is obtained from stigma and style of plants

Explanation:

• Saffron is scientifically known as Crocus sativus and belongs to the family Iridaceae.
• It is one of the oldest and among the world's most expensive spices. It is obtained from the flowers of the Crocus plant. Since heavy rain or frost at the time of flowering is disastrous, therefore cultivation is successful in cold regions with a warm or subtropical climate. Stigmas are hand-picked every day as the flowers open.
• They are then dried in the sun or by artificial heat. After complete drying, the saffron is packed immediately, preferably in tin containers.
• The finest quality of saffron is SHAHI ZAFRAN which is obtained from the red tips of the stigmas and is the world's most expensive spice.
• The remaining part of the stigmas constitutes saffron of inferior grade.
• About one and a half million flowers are required to make one kilogram of true saffron.
• It has a characteristic aromatic odour and a pungent, bitter taste. It is a rich source of riboflavin and contains a reddish yellow pigment, crocin.
