The vivid crimson stigmas of Crocus sativus produce saffron, the world's most coveted and expensive spice, a key ingredient that colors and flavors many culinary delights.

Sugarfina has a reputation for being overpriced. However, a bento box trio of their unique gummies was found at HomeGoods for $20, a savings over the $32 price online.

Unfortunately, reviews of the Costco saffron point out that the taste is very weak or almost non-existent. While it does offer a hay-like aroma, it's also been likened to the taste of tequila (minus the alcohol).

We faced delays making our way through the permitting process. We had to wait for equipment to arrive from Italy.
