Dried crocus stigmas (7)

I believe the answer is:

saffron

(Other definitions for saffron that I've seen before include "Golden yellow" , "Fans for, say orange food flavour and colouring" , "Type of crocus" , "Valuable spice" , "Flavouring from a kind of crocus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
