thing where can you find the best saffron in the
world? -

answeralbeit one that depends on several
factors. In this short article, well give you
the tools and tips you need to figure out how to

2 Farms that do it right
- Saffron is a famously delicate crop, and its
not easy to produce (which is a big part of the

4Where it comes
- First up, you should consider the origin of your
saffron. Although commercial saffron production
has now spread across the globe, experts agree
that the best saffron in the world still comes
from Iran. In fact, Persian saffron accounts for
over 90 of the world saffron trade, so theres a
fair chance that any saffron youre considering
has its origin there. Within Iran, there are
several major growing regions, but among these,
the Khorasan region stands out, with its dry air
and pure water, as well as soil thats nearly
perfect for growing saffron crocuses.
