Spices are much cheaper today than they were centuries ago, but some spices are still quite costly.
The most expensive spice of all is a certain kind of saffron, which sells for over $800 a pound! It takes about 32,000 saffron flowers to make just one pound of saffron.
The cheapest spices in the world, Canadian mustard and Portuguese rosemary, both sell for under ten cents a pound.
