This reddish-orange coloured spice has a pleasing fragrance, flavour and taste. This herb's stigma and style part yields Saffron of commerce having unique combinations of Phytochemicals viz Crocin, Crocetin, Picrocrocin, Safranal etc. also contributes to their medicinal qualities. Saffron has a rich history of usage in various ancient scriptures. It is native of south Europe and found growing in Iran, India, Spain, France, Greece, Argentina, USA, Japan, Macedonia, Austria, Italy, China, Germany, Switzerland etc. Restricted growth, climate and labour-intensive traditional cultivation makes it difficult to grow. Addition to that; issues of climate change, urbanisation, inclining towards cash crops, poor technical advancements & market awareness has shifted the growers' interests. Around 150000 flowers are required to yield 1kg of Saffron; making it an expensive spice. Several countries have established various cultivation strategies for sustainable yield, maintaining quality & to expand geographical areas. Book includes case study of Jammu & Kashmir, India.
