Saffron is Greek?

While doing some research on Greek Cuisine and the different regions of Greece, I came across an article which I found pretty interesting.  It turns out that Saffron is a Greek Spice!  Northern Greece's cuisine sounds a lot spicier than what I'm used to, and for that fact what most are used to from the Greek Culinary World.  Anyway, here's a link to the article...Enjoy!
