to get one pound of dried saffron took up to a quarter of a million stigmas — five pounds of wet stigmas dried down to that single pound, six pounds late in the season. Saffron Walden is named for the crop the whole town lived on, and nothing says it like the count: 250,000 hand-plucked threads for one pound of spice. the front is that ratio as data-art — a dense field of tiny red crocus stigmas, each a few small strokes, none quite identical so it reads hand-plucked not stamped, reducing to one empty circle dead centre labelled 1 LB. the ratio sits in plain heavy caps beneath.
