Saffron Flower | Lee Organic

Saffron, derived from the Crocus sativus flower, is one of the most prized and luxurious spices in the world. Each saffron flower contains delicate red stigmas, which are carefully hand-harvested and dried to create the vibrant saffron spice known for its rich aroma, distinct flavor, and powerful medicinal properties.

Often referred to as “Red Gold”, saffron has been used for centuries in culinary, medicinal, and skincare applications. It is highly valued for its antioxidant content, mood-enhancing properties, and ability to improve overall well-being.
