Saffron / Kesar (Crocus sativus L.) is a perennial herbaceous plant known for producing the most expensive spice in the world—derived from the dried stigmas of its flowers. Belonging to the Iridaceae family, saffron has been cultivated for centuries, particularly in regions such as Iran, India (Kashmir), Greece, and Spain. Renowned in traditional medicine systems including Ayurveda, Unani, and Traditional Persian Medicine, saffron is celebrated for its applications in treating depression, inflammation, asthma, skin diseases, and as an aphrodisiac.
