Which of the spices is the world's most expensive spice as for the price per weight?

"I just mad about Saffron and Saffron is mad about me" lol

With a gram, 0.035 of an ounce, of the sought-after spice selling for up to £75, saffron is more expensive than gold because harvesting it is so laborious. Each crocus flower yields just three stigmas which are picked by hand by an army of volunteers then dried to create the precious saffron strands

Hans Henriksen, are you sure they are "Volunteers" ?

tootsmagoo, My mother would use saffron in homemade soup but very sparingly. It did add a good flavor .

funny that this spice is kept behind the counter to deter theft. at least it is in our area.

Hans Henriksen, Picked by an army of volunteers? I don't think so! Poor people are paid a little for picking them.

Player #14650138, 😅

I'm Iranian and Saffron is my favorite spice. The nickname of Saffron in Iran is Red Gold because of hard process to produce that and also precious!
