More about saffron
Saffron is the most demanding and a miraculous spice derived from the Crocus Sativus flower, commonly known as the saffron crocus. The spice is made from the dried stigmas of the flower and is a popular ingredient in many cuisines worldwide. It has a distinctive flavour and aroma and is often used to add a golden yellow colour and an enchanting taste to dishes, beverages and sweets. Saffron is also renowned for its medicinal properties and is used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments such as: heart diseases, depression and reducing blood cholesterol due to its antioxidant function. Iranians and some other oriental nations cultivated and used the saffron plant thousands of years ago. Over many centuries, the knowledge and experience of growing and harvesting saffron has been transferred and developed from one generation to another.
From the past, while exporting this product to many parts of the ancient world, Iranians introduced the properties of saffron to the Greeks, Romans, Chinese and Semitic peoples, including the Arabs, and introduced its cultivation method to the nations around the Mediterranean, including Andalusia. Currently, the annual global production of saffron is more than 450 tons, of which more than 90% is produced in Iran. India, Morocco, Spain, Afghanistan and Türkiye are in the next ranks.
