Saffron (Crocus sativus), known as “red gold,” is one of the most valuable medicinal plants in the world. It is highly appreciated for its vivid color, distinctive taste, and strong aroma. Saffron contains active compounds such as crocin, safranal, and picrocrocin, which give it various medicinal properties. Saffron cultivation requires appropriate climate conditions such as semi-warm, mild winters, and dry summers with temperatures ideally between 15-20°C and rainfall between 300-500 mm, avoiding excess water.
