Badiee Khatam Saffron – Special Super Negin – 150g

Saffron — famed as the world’s most expensive, fragrant, and distinguished spice — is celebrated in haute cuisine, luxury cosmetics, and premium wellness products.

Iran, recognized globally as the birthplace of saffron, produces over 99% of the world’s saffron, making it the foremost exporter. China remains the largest importer.

Its exquisite aroma and unparalleled flavor derive from Safranal, while its radiant golden hue comes from Crocin.

Advanced methods such as mass spectrometry and high‑performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) verify saffron authenticity and detect adulteration.

Key Components of Saffron

Botanical Profile

The saffron plant (Crocus sativus) is a small perennial herb measuring 10–30 cm in height. Slender leaves grow from the bulb, accompanied by flowering stalks bearing 1–3 blooms.

Each blossom contains six violet petals (sometimes pink or purple), three yellow stamens, and a pistil topped with a three‑branched red‑orange stigma.

The valuable part is the dried stigmas and style tip, prized for their exceptional aroma, refined bitterness, and vibrant coloring.
