What Are Saffron's Main Uses?

What Countries Mainly Grow It?

In Cooking

Firstly, as I am sure you know, saffron is extremely tasty and very distinctive when a top chef uses it to cook seafood dishes such as bouillabaisse and paella. Of course, everyone uses it in risotto and other rice dishes.

So, try adding some to your next beef stew or tomato-based sauce. And to make a wonderful marinade for fish, add saffron threads, garlic, and thyme to vinegar.

Iran

Iran produces around 160,000kg per year and is therefore easily the world’s leading producer of saffron.

And after that, India and Spain follow with 9000 and 5000kg. However, in recent years,  Afghanistan has dramatically increased production. Consequently, it will soon join the list of the world’s top producers.
