22 minute educational film about growing and harvesting saffron.
It’s an extremely laborious process.
This is why saffron is so expensive.

That video explains a lot about the state of our society today.
I was assigned to the Coast Guard LORAN station on Kure Atoll in the Hawaiian archipelago. We had plenty Lobsters bro. Guys were just eating the tails and throwing away 8 inch carapaces. I got them all to give the heads to me and picked out 40 pounds of meat. I asked the station cook to order some saffron so I could make lobster Newberg for everyone. He did and when the bill came in he had a fit. But he had to admit that was some damn good chow. We also had a district inspection team out so we served them lobster for lunch. They wrote us up for serving non-Coast Guard procured food.
