"Red gold," Iranian Saffron,
In Persian culture, Saffron is used in various ways, including in aromatic foods, colorful desserts, and physical and spiritual medicine. It is usually considered a fantastic spice that chefs add for its color and aroma. Saffron has long been a popular commodity, and this high demand even caused a war in central Europe in 1374. Saffron produced in Iran accounts for over 90% of all Saffron worldwide, and there is a reason for its ranking as the world's best. Additionally, Iranian Saffron can be found in various varieties bought directly from suppliers like Cyruscrafts. Many countries may produce Saffron, but Iran is the primary producer of the world's Saffron with the highest quality. Visiting Iran and taking Saffron home with you is possible, but each passport can only carry 100 grams of Saffron. As a result, finding an online store where you can buy original Iranian Saffron is very challenging.
More than 100 compounds are found in Saffron, but the three most promising appear to be the following: Crocin, which is responsible for its orange color; Picrocrocin, which provides its bitter taste; and Safranal, which provides its aroma.
The benefits of Saffron are endless. There is a long tradition of its use in traditional healing. It has recently been recognized as a successful treatment for respiratory infections and disorders such as coughs and colds, scarlet fever, smallpox, cancer, hypoxia, and asthma. Various other conditions were also treated, including blood circulation disorders, insomnia, paralysis, heart problems, stomach upsets, gout, chronic menstrual bleeding, amenorrhea, baby colic, eye disorders, digestive stimulants, and women's menstrual pain. Additionally, it prevents cell death, speeds wound healing and helps with memory loss.

Which Saffron Is High Quality and Which Is Low Quality?
When buying Saffron, you first need to consider the color to determine if it is high-quality or not. You are buying high-quality Saffron if the stigmas are vivid crimson with a slightly lighter orange-red color on the tips. The color of the stigmas indicates that they are not fake. Alternatively, if they are dull brick-red, they are old, and you shouldn't buy them. With CyrusCrafts saffron, you can be sure you are getting the original Iranian Saffron.
