Why Iranian Saffron?
Iranian saffron has managed to keep its distinctive qualities in comparison with those produced in other regions of the world. That might also explain why Iranian saffron enjoys such an exceptional recognition for its fragrance, flavor and color at international markets. Iran is the world’s largest producer of saffron. In a given year they can produce 100 to 170 metric tons of saffron. Saffron is produced mainly in the Khorasan province, the world capital of saffron, where the climate is suitable for growing the spice and it has had a long tradition of cultivating saffron. Moreover, 90% of Iran’s saffron is produced from Khorasan province.
