What makes this Iranian saffron so special is the fact that in Iran, farmers don't use chemical materials for cultivation, which means that Sargol saffron is 100% pure, with no synthetic pesticides, preservatives, food additives or colorings. Besides, this saffron is ideal for teas, gelatos, stews, rice dishes, seafood, chicken, candies, baked goods, butter sauces, and much more. When it comes to its nutritional benefits, saffron is rich in plant compounds that act as antioxidants which in turn protect your cells against oxidative stress.
