Saffron

Saffron is one of the most valuable spices in the world, known for its unique properties that have been appreciated since ancient times. The best saffron in the world is produced in Iran, which accounts for more than 90% of the global saffron production. The provinces of Khorasan Razavi and South Khorasan, especially the cities of Qaenat and Torbat Heydarieh, are the main centers of saffron production in Iran. The climatic and soil conditions of these areas create an ideal environment for saffron cultivation.Due to its strong antioxidants such as crocin, crocetin, and safranal, saffron has anti-inflammatory properties and can effectively combat free radicals. This precious plant improves mood and reduces symptoms of depression because its active compounds have a positive effect on serotonin levels in the brain. Additionally, the vitamin C present in saffron helps strengthen the immune system.
