About Saffron
Saffron is the dried stigma of Crocus sativus, valued as a premium spice and natural colorant in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. International trade occurs primarily in three forms: whole threads (highest grade), powder, and extracts, graded by color intensity (USTA scale), flavor potency (ISO 3632), and moisture content. Iran dominates global production at 90% of supply, followed by India, Spain, and Afghanistan. Kashmir and Khorasan regions produce notable volumes. Critical for buyers: authentic saffron pricing typically ranges $10-15 per gram; suspiciously cheap offerings indicate adulteration with safflower or artificial dyes, detectable through laboratory analysis or simple iodine tests assessing crocin content.
