Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus). Crocus is a genus in the family Iridaceae. A crocus sativus flower bears three stigmas, each the distal end of a carpel. Together with the styles stalks that connect the stigmas to their host plant the dried stigmas are used in cooking as a seasoning and colouring agent. Saffron, long the world's most expensive spice by weight, is native to Southwest Asia. Saffron's bitter taste and iodoform- or hay-like fragrance result from the chemicals picrocrocin and safranal. Saffron also contains a carotenoid dye, crocin, which imparts a rich golden-yellow hue to dishes and textiles.

Other important things to note.

1) Bulbs are a minimum size of 20mm each.

2) Full flowering cannot be guaranteed in the first growing season. It typically takes 3 seasons to get maximum harvests.

3) Bulbs are grown in South Africa by the market leaders in Saffron bulb production. The bulbs are fully acclimatised to South African conditions and are top quality.
