Saffron has been nicknamed the “sunshine spice.” And that’s not just because of its red and sometimes yellow coloring. The spice is believed to have mood-boosting properties.
Saffron has many different chemical components. Some of these may help to reduce blood pressure and provide protection against heart disease.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. For those who want relief but don’t want to rely on medications, saffron may be a good alternative.
Saffron contains two chemicals, crocin and crocetin, which researchers believe may help learning and memory function.
We are working to empower women by growing and selling Afghan saffron to Swiss markets. Our profits are reinvested in our suppliers, helping them to produce superior quality saffron, renting equipment, and growing their business. Together with Afghan women, we stand up for their rights and their jobs!
