Saffron is a spice derived from dried threads of the flower of Crocus Sativus. Saffron is used in rice, chicken, fish & other seafood dishes to give both great taste and beautiful yellow color. 

 

Saffron is high in health-promoting compounds, such as carotenoid antioxidants. Research findings suggest saffron has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and may improve heart health, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve sleep, and protect eye health.
