The spice saffron, made from the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus L. has occupied a unique place in history, culture, medicine and science for thousands of years. Saffron has always been a symbol of luxury, spirituality and healing. Its use is particularly deeply rooted in the Middle East, and Iran is by far the largest producer. It is the world's most valuable spice, and is prized for its colour, flavour and aroma in cooking.This book presents a comprehensive account of saffron highlighting its historical, botanical, chemical and industrial aspects. It includes advances in sustainable cultivation and harvesting; use in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals; and its market and trade.
