Saffron (pronounced or) is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the "saffron crocus".

Saffron crocus grows to and bears up to four flowers, each with three vivid crimson stigmas, which are the distal end of a carpel.

The styles and stigmas, called threads, are collected and dried to be used mainly as a seasoning and colouring agent in food.

Saffron, long among the world's most costly spices by weight, is native to Southwest Asia and was probably first cultivated in or near Greece.

As a genetically monomorphic clone, it was slowly propagated throughout much of Eurasia and was later brought to parts of North Africa, North America, and Oceania.

A meal is an eating occasion that takes place at a certain time and includes specific, prepared food, or the food eaten on that occasion.

The names used for specific meals in English vary greatly, depending on the speaker's culture, the time of day, or the size of the meal.

Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work.

Among English speakers, "breakfast" can be used to refer to this meal or to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, porridge and sausage) served at any time of day.

The word literally refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night.

Dinner usually refers to the most significant and important meal of the day, which can be the noon or the evening meal.

However, the term "dinner" can have many different meanings depending on the culture; it may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of the day.

Historically, it referred to the first meal of the day, eaten around noon, and is still sometimes used for a noon-time meal, particularly if it is a large or main meal.

The meaning as the evening meal, generally the largest of the day, is becoming a standard in many parts of the English-speaking world.

Lunch, the abbreviation for luncheon, is a light meal typically eaten at midday.

The origin of the words lunch and luncheon relate to a small snack originally eaten at any time of the day or night.

During the 20th century the meaning gradually narrowed to a small or mid-sized meal eaten at midday.

Lunch is commonly the second meal of the day, after breakfast.

The meal varies in size depending on the culture, and significant variations exist in different areas of the world.
