The saffron plant, also known as Crocus sativus, is a perennial plant from the iris family. It is cultivated for its pistils, which provide the expensive spice saffron. The plant has a delicate purple flower that blooms in the fall and can only be harvested for a few weeks each year. Harvesting saffron is very labor-intensive as the pistils have to be picked by hand, but the spice is highly prized for its characteristic aroma, taste and bright yellow color.
Sargol saffron is one of the best known and highest quality types of saffron and is obtained from the hand-picked, bright red pistil threads of crocus flowers. These threads are carefully harvested by hand and then dried to obtain the intensely fragrant and aromatic spice. Sargol saffron is prized for its strong aroma, bright red color and high content of crocin, the coloring agent of saffron. It is used in many culinary applications to flavor dishes such as rice, soups and stews and to impart an intense yellow color.
