Afghani Saffron is derived from a plant called crocus sativus. Afghani Saffron has an intense aroma, striking color, and delicious flavor which makes it one of the most expensive spices in the world. Afghani Saffron is especially good when used in cooking seafood dishes such as bouillabaisse and paella. It is also used in risotto and other rice dishes.

It can be ground into powder form for use in Afghani Saffron extract supplements and capsules or for steeping tea leaves to release a premium yellow flavor. Daily consumption of Afghani Saffron is recommended during pregnancy as it helps in digestion and controls mood swings.
