Korenie, ktoré kedysi stálo toľko ako zlato
Saffron comes from tiny flower threads picked by hand, and for most of history a pound of it cost about the same as a pound of gold.

Toto korenie kedysi stálo toľko, koľko vážilo v zlate. Pošli toto niekomu, kto rád varí. Šafran pochádza z jedného malého fialového kvetu, krokusu. Vnútri každého kvetu sú tri tenké červené vlákna a používajú sa iba tie jemné vlákna.
Pracovníci musia každé vlákno zbierať ručne, skoro ráno, ešte predtým, ako sa kvety otvoria na slnku. Na výrobu jednej libry šafranu treba desaťtisíce kvetov. Väčšinu histórie stála táto libra sušených vlákien približne toľko, koľko libra zlata.
Dnes stojí zlato oveľa viac než šafran, ale šafran zostáva najdrahším korením v každej kuchyni na svete. Jedna štipka dokáže zmeniť farbu aj chuť celého hrnca ryže.
That's the story.
