The Harvesting Of Zaferan™ Saffron
Aug - SepPlanting of the Saffron Corms
Individual saffron bulbs are planted between August and September at a depth of about 15-20 cm with a distance of about 10 cm in each direction in the soil.Sep - OctFlower Bloom
Harvesting begins early in the morning, just before the flowers fully open, to ensure the highest quality of saffron. This is because the saffron stigmas are more protected when the flowers are still partially closed.Post HarvestDrying & Grading
The drying process is critical and must be done properly to maintain saffron's quality. Drying is typically done under controlled conditions, sometimes using traditional methods such as drying over charcoal or in the sun. After drying, saffron is graded based on color, aroma, and thread quality. The highest grades of saffron are deep red and have a strong aroma, with no yellow or white parts

The compounds in saffron strands, particularly crocin and safranal, have been shown to increase levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, helping to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. It's sometimes referred to as "sunshine spice" due to its positive effects on mood.
