Organic Greek Saffron Premium

In ancient Greece, the saffron crocus was considered a rare pharmaceutical plant. Mentions of it in medical writings date back to classical Greek and Roman times all the way through the Middle Ages. Hippocrates and others have noted saffron’s uses as a natural painkiller, aphrodisiac, wound healer and remedy for upset stomach or insomnia. It takes 150,000 flowers to produce 1 kilogram of dried crocus stigmas, which makes saffron the most expensive spice in the world. While Greeks might add a little of
the spice to rice or baked orzo, they are more likely to buy saffron to make paella or bouillabaisse.

Having it in our daily diet gives us vitality and may even contribute to a healthier and longer life. This is a view widely accepted around the world.
