Description
Saffron (also known as Zafran, which is where our name comes from!) due to its red exquisite appearance and divine flowery aroma, it is referred to as the “queen of all spices.” It’s also known as a valuable spice because of its scarcity and difficulty in cultivating and harvesting.
Saffron is the stigma of the saffron crocus flower. It thrives in warm subtropical climates, hence Afghanistan has ideal climatic conditions for it to grow.
Zafran Naturals Afghani Saffron is organically grown, handpicked, and dried originating from Afghanistan. It is natural, fresh, and has the best flavor compared to other saffron kinds grown in most of the countries.
