It is the world's most valuable spice, and is prized for its colour, flavour and aroma in cooking.This book presents a comprehensive account of saffron highlighting its historical, botanical, chemical and industrial aspects. It includes advances in sustainable cultivation and harvesting; use in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals; and its market and trade.
