Saffron
• The most precious and most expensive spice in the world: Saffron.
• The Saffron filaments, or threads, are actually the dried stigmas of the saffron flower, "Crocus Sativus Linneaus".
• Each flower contains only three stigmas. These threads must be picked from each flower by hand, and more than 75,000 of these flowers are needed to produce just one pound of Saffron filaments, making it the world's most precious spice.
• But, because of saffron's strong coloring power and intense flavor, it can be used sparingly.
• Saffron is used both for its bright orange-yellow color and for its strong, intense flavor and aroma.
Saffron Cultivation & Harvesting
• The cultivation of saffron needs an extreme climate; hot and dry weather in summer and cold in winter.
• The sowing takes place in the months of June and July
• The harvesting takes place between the end of October-beginning of November. The rose of saffron blooms at dawn and should stay the least possible time in the plant because it withers quickly and the stigmas loose color and aroma. This is why they are gathered between dawn and 10 am
• Once the flowers are gathered, stigmas are separated from the rest of the flower. More than 85.000 flowers are needed to obtain just one kilo of saffron
Saffron Cultivation & Harvesting
• The stigmas of saffron have a high level of moisture, so it is necessary to dry them for its good preservation. This is the process of roasting, in which the stigmas get it definitive aspect: bright red, rigid and without wrinkles.
• After the process of roasting, the stigmas of saffron would have 1/5 of their original size. This means that for one kg of raw stigmas we will obtain 200 g of saffron ready for consumption.
• For its perfect preservation, saffron is stored in big wooden trunks lined with metal plate inside protecting it from heat, cold and specially moisture.
Medical Benefits of Saffron
• Saffron is known to offer multiple health benefits. Saffron benefits include treating asthma, menstrual discomfort, depression, atherosclerosis, and many other health problems.
• Some studies have also indicated that saffron benefits may also extend to cancer as saffron may also have certain anti-cancer properties as well.
• Saffron have positive effects in lowering blood cholesterol and triglycerides among heart patients
• In ancient cultures, saffron was also used to relieve stomach aches and kidney stones and also as an agent in improving the circulation of blood.
