Saffron (Crocus sativus) is a sterile, autumn-flowering crocus cultivated for its fragrant purple flowers and distinctive vivid crimson stigmas and styles. The dried stigmas are valued as a premium spice, known for their unique iodoform-like or hay-like fragrance, derived from phytochemicals picrocrocin and safranal, and their golden-yellow color from the carotenoid crocin.
