Harvesting saffron in Iran
Harvesting saffron in Iran is the hardest agricultural part in the field of saffron and requires high sensitivity. You will need about 15 to 20 days to complete this step. It should be noted that the flowers live for about 1 day and if they are not harvested during this day, they will lose their quality and die. The later the harvest, because the flowers are exposed to sunlight, wind, and other climatic factors, they will lose their quality.
When the temperature of onions reaches 8 degrees Celsius, saffron harvest begins. Depending on this point, harvesting will take place in some areas from early November and in other areas from early December. With the emergence of purple flowers in the field, the harvesting process begins. Harvest time depends on the climatic conditions of the region and will take about three weeks.

Buying Iranian saffron
If you are buying Iranian saffron, we suggest that you are familiar with different types of saffron. In the following, we will give a brief explanation about the types of saffron.
Negin saffron
This type of saffron has a wonderful color and appearance and is very fragrant. In this type of saffron, three stigmas are connected and are smooth and without fractures. This has made this type of saffron have a better appearance and a higher price than Sargol saffron.
Sargol saffron
It is the most consumed and common type of saffron for people to use in Iran and consumers are more familiar with this type of saffron. In Sargol saffron, which is pure saffron, the creamy part or the whiteness of the saffron is completely removed and only the red part remains.
Pushal Saffron
In this type of saffron, saffron cream (white part) is separated from under the flower, so that the stigmas will have 2-3 mm of cream. At the end of the stigmas of the three branches of saffron, there is some yellow or white, which is called Pushal saffron.
Dasteh (Bunch in English) Saffron
This type of saffron is a complete string that has the red and yellow parts of saffron together. So that the yellow part is about 30 and the red part is about 70% of it. In this type of classification, saffron is intact and the stigmas of the three branches of saffron are not separated from the white part of saffron (or saffron cream).
Konj or white saffron
After the rhizome is removed from the bunch, the root or white part, which in Iran is called the Konj or white saffron, remains; This part has more aroma, but the red part of saffron has more valuable ingredients.
