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.
Secondly, as you are probably aware, herbal medicine is becoming more and more popular. The stigmas of our favourite spice are found in medicinal supplements for asthma, whooping cough and as an expectorant to loosen phlegm.

In short, the next time someone asks “What is saffron used for?” you will be able to tell them.
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.
