Saffron is a type of crocus that can be purchased by import through B2B suppliers, wholesalers and producers from Iran, Spain, France and Greece. The spice obtained from the purple flower stigmas, saffron threads. To produce 1kg of saffron, about 200,000 crocus flowers are used, which are picked by hand. This makes the spice very expensive. The intense color is due to crocetin, a decomposition product of the carotenoids it contains. In addition, there are volatile, ethereal aromatic substances that make up the typical, slightly bitter-aromatic taste and offer many advantages to food technology and product development.
Food manufacturers use the tangy, spicy saffron flavoring for rice, meat and fish dishes, as a decoration for dishes or cocktails, in desserts, baked goods, ice cream or sauces. It is also used as an additive in spirits and dairy products.
Saffron is considered a medicinal plant that has analgesic, diuretic and diaphoretic effects. However, its use as a flavoring and in medicines is restricted, as excessive intake has negative effects. In the cosmetics industry, saffron flavoring is used in the production of perfumes and creams. Furthermore, saffron is an orange-yellow to golden-yellow dye for cosmetics, wool, cotton and silk.
