A precious natural spice called “Red Gold”, Saffron is derived from the flower of Crocus Sativus and has many uses due to its natural colouring, aroma, taste, and nutritional values. Saffron is used in many different fields including: Medicinal & pharmaceutical, Cooking, Cosmetic Perfume, Flavouring (food industry)

Iran, Spain, India, and Greece continue to dominate the world trade of saffron. Iran is the world’s leading saffron producer accounting for more than 90% of world production. Saffron cultivation process makes it the world’s most expensive spice. One acre of purple crocuses (saffron flower) will yield only (approx.) 500g of saffron. Each crocus flower only produces three threads of saffron (approx. 14,000 threads equal 30g of saffron).
