Zafran (Saffron)

Saffron is a precious spice derived from the stigma of the Crocus sativus flower. Known for its vibrant golden color, unique aroma, and distinct flavor, saffron is widely used in cooking, especially in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. It is also valued for its potential health benefits, including its antioxidant properties and mood-enhancing effects. Due to its labor-intensive harvesting process, saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world.
