    Origin of Saffron

    It is believed that saffron as a spice is originated in Iran. However, Greece has also been suggested as the possible origin of this plant. The Minoans used saffron as a dye in their palace frescoes by 1600–1500 BC

    In South Asia, Buddhist were wearing saffron-coloured robes. Conflicting theories exist regarding saffron's arrival in South A

    It is believed that saffron as a spice is originated in Iran. However, Greece has also been suggested as the possible origin of this plant. The Minoans used saffron as a dye in their palace frescoes by 1600–1500 BC

    In South Asia, Buddhist were wearing saffron-coloured robes. Conflicting theories exist regarding saffron's arrival in South Asia. Kashmiri and Chinese estimate anywhere between 2500 and 900 years ago. Historians studying ancient Persian records date the arrival to sometime prior to 500 BC, attributing it to a Persian transplantation of saffron corms to stock new gardens and parks. Phoenicians marketed Kashmiri saffron as a dye and a treatment for melancholy. Its use in foods and dyes subsequently spread throughout South Asia. Buddhist monks wear saffron-coloured robes; however, the robes are not dyed with costly saffron but turmeric, a less expensive dye, or jackfruit. Monks' robes are dyed the same colour to show equality with each other, and turmeric or ochre were the cheapest, most readily available dyes. Gamboge is now used to dye the robes.

    In East Asia, it is possible that saffron came to China with Mongol invaders from Persia. Yet saffron is mentioned in ancient Chinese medical texts, including the forty-volume Shennong Bencaojing, a pharmacopoeia written around 300–200 BC. Based on the herbalist Wan Zhen saffron is originated in Kashmir, where people grow it principally to offer it to the Buddha. It is valued for its uniform yellow color. It can be used to aromatize the wine."

    In South East Mediterranean, Ancient Greek legends told of sea voyages to Cilicia, where adventurers sought what they believed were the world's most valuable threads.  Another legend tells of Crocus and Smilax, whereby Crocus is bewitched and transformed into the first saffron crocus. Ancient perfumers in Egypt, physicians in Gaza used saffron in their scented waters, perfumes, mascaras and ointments, and medical treatments. In Egypt, Cleopatra used saffron in her baths so that lovemaking would be more pleasurable. Egyptian healers used saffron as a treatment for all varieties of gastrointestinal ailments. Aulus Cornelius Celsus prescribes saffron in medicines for wounds, cough, colic, and scabie.

    In Western Europe, Saffron was a notable ingredient in certain Roman recipes such as jusselle and conditum. Competing theories state that saffron only returned to France with 8th-century AD Moors or with the Avignon papacy in the 14th century AD. The 14th-century Black Death caused demand for saffron-based medicaments to peak, and Europe imported large quantities of threads via Venetian and Genoan ships from southern and Mediterranean lands such as Rhodes. The theft of one such shipment by noblemen sparked the fourteen-week-long Saffron War. The conflict and resulting fear of rampant saffron piracy spurred corm cultivation in Basel. Meanwhile, cultivation continued in southern France, Italy, and Spain.

    In The Americas, Europeans introduced saffron to the Americas when immigrant members of the Schwenkfelder Church left Europe with a trunk containing its corms. By 1730, the Pennsylvania Dutch cultivated saffron throughout eastern Pennsylvania. Spanish colonies in the Caribbean bought large amounts of this new American saffron, and high demand ensured that saffron's list price on the Philadelphia commodities exchange was equal to gold. Trade with the Caribbean later collapsed in the aftermath of the War of 1812, when many saffron-bearing merchant vessels were destroyed. The Pennsylvania Dutch continued to grow lesser amounts of saffron for local trade and use in their cakes, noodles, and chicken or trout dishes. American saffron cultivation survives into modern times, mainly in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
