Believed native to the Mediterranean area, Asia Minor, and Iran, the saffron crocus has long been cultivated in Iran and Kashmir and is supposed to have been introduced into Cathay by the Mongol invasion. Saffron is imported from Iran which is known for producing the best quality of saffron in the world. Saffron has a hay-like fragrance with a slightly bitter taste and goldish-yellow hue.
Additional Information
Remove dry Fruits from the box immediately. The refrigerator can only maintain the qualities of saffron for two weeks. Second, when you take the saffron out of the refrigerator to use, you should take only seconds and put the container back in the fridge before it absorbs moisture, another nemesis of the precious spice.
