Saffron
Saffron is an agricultural product that is one of the most expensive spices in the world. It is known as the “flower of health,” “king of spices,” and “red gold.”
Appearance
Unlike other spices, saffron has various types, and in each type, the saffron threads are not identical. This difference depends on factors such as the method of harvesting, the separation (packing) of the saffron flower, the climate of the region, and ultimately its quality. The types of saffron include Super Negin, Negin, Semi-Negin, Sargol, Pushal, and Dasteh (Daughter-Pich). Super Negin is the best and most expensive type, while Sargol is one of the most popular varieties
Usage
Due to its unique flavor, color, and exceptional health benefits, saffron is used in a variety of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, cooking, baking, beverages, and more. One of the reasons for saffron’s high price and economic value is its wide range of uses and numerous health benefits.
storage and transportation
The packaging of exported saffron plays a significant role in determining its market price. Export saffron packaging must not only meet high hygiene standards but also be resistant to dust, contamination, and moisture, preserving the quality of the saffron. Common packaging choices include mina work, metal, crystal, inlaid, and cardboard pouch packaging.
