Maybe four. It's been a while since I've bought it by the gram. A glass
tube containing a gram of saffron is about the size of a small cigar,
perhaps four or five inches long and about half an inch in diameter, the
fullness depending on how well packed the threads are... . There are
roughly 30 grams to an ounce, BTW. The exact number is either 28 or 31,
but I don't seem to get that number into my long-term memory, no matter
how hard I try.
I suspect that perhaps your memory for the numbers is off, or else there
is something fishy going on...
