saffron is the stigmas (female part) of the Crocus flower only. There
are 3 stigmas joined by a single filament called a "style" in each flower.
The "style" is worthless. The main factors in determining quality
saffron are coloring power, aroma, and flavor. It takes more than
170,000 flowers to product just one kilogram of saffron. Why is there
such price fluctuations in saffron? Some saffron is made less expensive by
adulterating the stigmas with floral waste. The waste is styles and
stamens (male part) dyed red. These parts of the flower have no aroma
or flavor. There can be between 15% and 40% floral waste in
adulterated saffron.
