Iran is responsible for 90–93% of global saffron production.The plant is originally cultivated in Khorasan Razavi province.
In Iran, saffron is used as a food flavoring and for dyeing fabrics and beverages and in the pharmaceutical and traditional medicine industries.

1. A Powerful Antioxidant
Saffron contains an impressive variety of plant compounds that act as antioxidants — molecules that protect your cells against free radicals and oxidative stress.
Crocin and crocetin are carotenoid pigments and are responsible for saffron’s red color. Both compounds may have antidepressant properties, protect brain cells against progressive damage, improve inflammation, reduce appetite, and aid weight loss.
Safranal gives saffron its distinct taste and aroma. Research shows that it may help improve your mood, memory, and learning ability, as well as protect your brain cells against oxidative stress.
