 why saffron price is more expensive than other spice?

Saffron is known as  an expensive spice, because of using human force instead of agricultural machineries. Saffron flowers are so sensitive and collection process on the land must be done by human hands. Collecting saffron flowers must be done around 10 up to 20 days in October in early morning before sunrise. All these problems leads to increase saffron price,by considering all these difficulties, saffron price in Iran is lower than  other countries,  and the  reason is cheap human force and widespread presentation of this spice comparing to other countries.

more about saffron

Saffron’s flavour and iodoform or hay-like fragrance result from the chemicals picrocrocin and safranal. It also includes crocin, a carotenoid pigment, which imparts a rich golden-yellow tint to textiles and dishes.

Saffron types:

What is even more interesting is that there are three main types of Persian/Iranian saffron spice, these three types are based on the trim of the saffron thread. The three different trims of  Iranian Saffron are:

 Pushal:

this type of saffron contains filaments which have close 3mm style.

Sargol:

this type is totally red, filaments are thinner than Negin type and because of this type is result of sorting Pushal, there are some broken filaments in this type.

Negin:

all red, along thicker and longer filaments. in comparison to Sargol, Negin has more volume.

Super Negin:

the definition is same as Negin saffron, along this difference Super Negin is Negin grade 1

which one is better ??

All types are original saffron, difference is between method of sorting saffron threads, coloring power (crocin) between Negin and Sargol is same approximately, however Negin is more, if we want to ranking saffron types, Negin is the best, and sargol , pushal are in the next level respectively
