About 80 different species

About 80 different species of wild saffron are known in the world, and most are distributed throughout the Mediterranean and Asia Minor. Only in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands we have eight different species, which you can find in mountain areas and in open meadows; Most of these crocuses have their flowering in autumn https://foodsocietyx.com. The saffron from which the spice is obtained does not exist in its natural state, only in crops that are already very limited today.

Saffron is grown in temperate regions, where rain does not abound and humidity is moderate. The main exporter of saffron is Iran, with 94% of its production. Other producing regions of great importance are India, Turkey and Greece. In Afghanistan, its cultivation is being promoted, to replace that of opium.
