Saffron is known as the “sunshine spice” for being a mood booster.
Saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world because it must be harvested by hand. It also takes a large quantity of blossoms and dried stigmas to make 1 kilogram (kg) of the spice.
The spice has a long history. It’s believed that humans used saffron as early as 3,500 years ago. Historically, people used it to treat a long list of health conditions, including:
- Trouble urinating
- Menstrual issues
- Eye disorders
- Ulcers
- Stomach issues
- Tumors
- Mental disorders
- Depression
- Stress
- Pain
