| Saffron Flower in Iran |
Saffron is known as one of the most expensive thing on earth.
Although mainly a spice, it is
costlier than gold and is quite a smuggler’s charm too. There are a number of
varieties of saffron available in the market as it grows in many regions of the
world. However, the worth can be different of this widely produced saffron. The
worth of different types of saffron is certified by ISO which is determined by
three factors, colour, aroma and flavor. It can also be attributed to the
method of cultivation of this plant, procedures adopted for plucking of the
saffron strings and drying them.
