The amount needed may vary quite a lot depending on the quality of
the saffron and as well the price may differ quite a lot depending 
upon where it is bought. For those who would be interested in more
details on saffron, how to buy it and what to look for, take a
look at these two files in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of 
my Florilegium.
