Iran Hub of World’s Most Expensive Spice

The red gold, Zafaran (Saffron) is used constantly in Persian cuisine and culinary, it
plays the main role in delicious Persian food and sweet recipes. This expensive flower thread is used in dying woolen for Iranian Carpets, Persian Rugs and Yarns.

Since the Achaemenid dynasty up to now, saffron was known as a luxury spice. It is said that people used to throw saffron flowers to welcome and greet kings' arrival.

Iranian Saffron Cultivation and Farming:

Cultivating and growing saffron takes so much effort, time and only those who love saffron farm works can do the job. To harvest each ounce of Red Sargol of Saffron, it's needed to grow 7000 Purple Saffron! The saffron flower should be hand-picked and the stigmas should be taken precisely. To replenish saffron, and restore enough nutrients in the soil, it's a must to plant beans and grains for 7-10 years.

Most expensive spice in the world! And it's taken from a beautiful purple flower named Crocus Sativus. The farmers get the stigmas and styles (Threads) of this flower and dry it and it's frequently used in cooking, coloring and also for medicine! There is no wonder that saffron is called Red Gold! The persistence of the color and smell compared with natural ones is adorable!
