Is this spice worth the price?

Lesson by Carolyn Beans, directed by Sarah Saidan.

Spices are often far pricier proportionately than the foods they flavor. But one’s cost has long topped them all. Saffron’s red threads regularly run at rates of over 600 USD an ounce. So what is this so-called “red gold,” and what makes it so expensive? Carolyn Beans digs into the unique biology of saffron and humanity's enduring obsession with the spice.

TED-Ed Educator Talks

TED-Ed Educator Talks

One of the most powerful parts of the Educator Talks experience is the global online community connecting educators from around the globe. Through Educator Talks, you’ll join like-minded peers all at different stages of the idea development process. Participants can ask each other questions, share drafts, exchange feedback, and learn from those who understand both the challenges and possibilities of your work. If your work serves primary, middle, or secondary school students and you want to develop your idea worth sharing, register for the Idea Workshop here!One of the great features of TED-Ed Students Talks is that all the activities are completely customizable. 

 

The program provides a flexible (and free!) framework that can be adapted to any grade level, subject, or learning style. Facilitators can start small or guide students through the entire talk development and delivery process, tailoring it to what their specific classroom needs and meeting students where they are to best help them to identify, develop, and share their ideas.

 

Educators, apply to bring TED-Ed Student Talks to your school or organization!
