Dried and ground crocus stigmas, a luxury dye yielding a brilliant golden yellow that commands noble prices. Saffron is used sparingly for fine silk, ceremonial cloth, and high-born garments; a single pot dyes many lengths. The dye is fast and vivid, though its cost restricts it to the wealthy and to spice-trading centers where the plant is cultivated.
