Top-quality Iranian saffron

Saffron is an expensive plant that has been one of the main staples of Iranian cuisine, used both as a flavorful spice and a coloring agent. This aromatic and vividly colored spice is known in traditional medicine for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and it is even used in the preparation of certain medicines. One of the reasons saffron is costly is its manual harvesting process, as a large number of saffron flowers must be collected to produce the final saffron.
