Saffron is one of the highly prized spices known since antiquity for its color, flavor and medicinal properties and also can be used as a fabric dye. It is the dried "stigma" or threads of the flower of the Crocus sativus plant. It is a bulbous perennial plant that belongs to the family of Iridaceae, in the genus, Crocus, and known botanically as Crocus sativus.
The Crocus sativus plant grows to about ****0cm in height and bears lavender colored flowers during each season which lasts from October until November. Each flower features perianth consisting of a stalk, known as style, connecting to three stigmas or threads to the rest of the plant. These red-yellow colored stigmas along with the "style" constitutes "saffron" which is used as condiment spice. Saffron has been the worlds most expensive spice by weight for decades. It takes **0,**0 flowers to make 1 kilogram of saffron.
Good saffron crop production demands cool dry climate with
well-drained rich fertile soil and irrigation facilities or
sufficient amount of rain fall. The flowers are generally harvested
during the early-morning hours and soon their stigma separated,
allowed to dry, and packed for marketing. Saffron has a distinct
flavor that comes from chemical compounds in it such as
picrocrocin, and safranal. It also contains a natural carotenoid
chemical compound, crocin, which gives saffron its golden-yellow
hue. These traits along with its medicinal properties make it a
valuable ingredient in many cuisines worldwide.
