But which ones are the most costly? Here are the five most expensive spices, ranked from least to most expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) <strong>Cardamom <\/strong>\u2013 This unique spice is popular in India and in world. It has multiple use in both sweet and savoury dishes and has a strong, pungent flavour. A single ounce of cardamom pods can cost upwards of $14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/oIyEXp40l4ceOUTnUC3W4yGLKJ9qhHpFCY2OnAbMAihWRZYsBqjlrzur6XGgpcQqxSxOD5loheB51W9LHEIMxG3keSuOaPJx_SAwOpvi63rA2XRsrBl13FySoB9JMgVqPRXNL-rWtzSz3tEk\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4) <strong>Saffron <\/strong>\u2013 Saffron is perhaps the best-known of all the expensive spices. The threads of this crimson spice are plucked from the flower of Crocus sativus and then dried. Just half a teaspoon can cost around $5!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) <strong>Vanilla Beans <\/strong>\u2013 Second, only to saffron in terms of price, vanilla beans are the fruit of an orchid plant. They\u2019re harvested by hand and need to be cured before they can be used, making them quite labour-intensive (and pricey!) at $8 per ounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/BQVfmaShS82Izi8kl6OJE9Wkg0UY1uF4GHo62yLP5F3R3rs3VrWzcLg-2FiKh0Nm1C4XlV_zICk8AOKVaAbNVKTW6zfltEQsEIcpJPEsIr0IzhR-z0co3HIkClzwxTRpXDjpPY6soBffwuPo\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2) <strong>Truffles <\/strong>\u2013 These \u201cdiamonds of the kitchen\u201d are actually a type of fungus that grows underground near tree roots. They have a distinctively earthy flavour that many people love, though they can come with a hefty price tag ranging from $500-$1,000 per pound!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/TmP1091D96dd58UprYQoY4uwSRzGTC9vMiEFOUpoo1xN-OAJHscYo5x1JQOUeEiDVtIHK-fbUxizYgsDDlh3-Qr7MJ6a4O45KJrOdQkpMj4dBTdYIesX0j6pWqUy6SlNXOQKFe_e-hF0Hz5E\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Credits- Amazon<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>1) <strong>Gold Leaf <\/strong>\u2013 Though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=moAbVMNwIIg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">technically<\/a> not a spice, gold leaf is often use as a garnish for sweets and other dishes in specific cuisines. Its skinny sheets are made from pure gold and can cost upwards of $60 per sheet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some spices are more expensive than others, they can all add a unique flavour to your cooking.
