Saffron Harvest

Agnès Papone (right, with daughter Lucie on her back) and farm helper Evelyne prepare saffron for drying, La Ferme Lavancia, Puget-Théniers, France, 25 October 2013. The flavour of the saffron depends on how quickly the stigma are dried after harvesting. Producers aim to get rid of 80% of the moisture in the stigmas on the same day that the flowers are picked.
