Saffron
The most expensive, finest, most aromatic, and most famous spice in the world, used in cooking, cosmetics, and healthcare.
Most sources consider Iran the birthplace of saffron. Currently, Iran harvests over 99% of the world’s saffron. Iran is the largest exporter of saffron, while China is the largest importer of saffron globally.
The unique aroma, flavor, and delightful taste of saffron are due to a compound called safranal, while the golden-yellow color it imparts to food comes from crocin. Mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are professional methods used to detect counterfeit saffron.
