Introduction to Saffron: The Jewel of Iran

Saffron, often referred to as “red gold,” is one of the most prized spices in the world, known for its vibrant color, distinct aroma, and numerous health benefits. For centuries, Iran has been the leading producer of saffron, supplying over 90% of the global market. This extraordinary spice is deeply rooted in Iranian culture, cuisine, and economy, symbolizing not only flavor but also the rich heritage of the country.

Saffron and Iran: A Timeless Connection

Iran’s climate, with its dry summers and mild winters, provides the ideal environment for cultivating saffron. The northeastern region, particularly Khorasan province, is famed for producing the highest quality saffron. Iranian saffron stands apart due to its intense color, unique aroma, and high concentration of crocin, which gives it unparalleled quality.
