Saffron, this precious and rare spice, is derived from the delicate flowers of Crocus Sativus. With over 90% of the world’s production, Iran is the largest producer and exporter of saffron. The harvesting season occurs in autumn, and each kilogram of saffron requires hand-picking and drying more than 150,000 flowers.
Saffron is highly valued in culinary, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its medicinal properties, unique aroma, and strong coloring ability. It contains active compounds such as crocin, safranal, and picrocrocin, which contribute to immune support, mood enhancement, and overall well-being.
