Which is the most expensive spice in the world?

Did you know that saffron is the most expensive spice in the world? A pound of saffron costs more than a pound of gold.

The saffron crocus, probably descends from Crocus cartwrightianus, which originated in Crete.

The Minoans portrayed saffron in their palace frescoes by 1600–1500 BC; they hint at its possible use as a therapeutic drug.
