Iran’s Exports of Saffron Extract to Canada, South Korea Increases
“Samples of our produced extracts have been sent to Canada and South Korea and we have received good feedback from customers. For instance, saffron extract with crocin above 55% has been sent to Canada and with more than 40% to South Korea,” Mahboub Habibzadeh said.
“A variety of herbal extracts are produced in this center and are used for various applications, including human medicine, food industry, livestock and poultry, and cosmetics,” he added.
“Among the most widely used extracts in this center are thyme, eucalyptus, lemon balm, yarrow, and fennel. These extracts are specifically recommended for livestock and poultry and have antibiotic properties and immune system boosting properties,” Habibzadeh said.
Iran is the main supplier of saffron worldwide with 90-95% of saffron world production.
Iranian saffron is often regarded as the finest saffron available anywhere in the world. Furthermore, it is a nutrient-dense, health-promoting food. As a result, the medicinal benefits of saffron include lowering blood pressure, avoiding heart disease, lowering cholesterol, and boosting mood and energy levels, among other things. It also has a high concentration of antioxidants, which may aid in the prevention and treatment of cancer. It also aids in the healing of the stomach, the belly, and intestines.
Despite the fact that saffron has a wide range of medicinal qualities, excessive intake may result in toxicity. Excessive intake of saffron may cause death in the human body, which is why it is advised that you should not consume more than 5 grams in a single meal.
