Saffron harvesting is extremely labour intensive; over 50,000 flowers are harvested for just one pound of saffron (there are only 3 threads per flower)! Moonflowers works with women on family-owned farms in the Herat region, and donates one percent of its profits to help children in Afghanistan, Cambodia & South Africa. What a precious find! 2g. Comes in a reuseable tin.
