Saffron, is it just a spice?

Passionate about Saffron?

Saffron made its way from Asia to the Mediterranean, and from there, to the rest of the world. This remarkable plant produces a well-known spice, commonly used in many regional cuisines, not only to add its distinctive flavor to dishes or bakery products, but also to brighten the looks of a meal with its golden yellow shades. The plant, and the spice derived from it have been known for millennia, and it has been adapted to many different traditions. You could find saffron in a stew in the Middle East, in a cake in northern Europe, or in a curry in South East Asia. The spice is used in many creative ways, interpreted differently by the people who embraced it in their culture.

More than just a spice.

Premium Quality Saffron (Saffron Stigma)

Saffron is not simply a beautiful and tasty spice, but the plant actually offers a wide range of benefits related to physical and emotional well-being that have been studied and observed for  centuries.

Recently, the scientific community is coming up with incredible new discoveries about saffron and its medical properties.
