Saffron, the dried stigmas of the flowers of Crocus sativus, is a well-known spice with antidepressant effects. Chemical analysis of the extract revealed about 150 different compounds, including crocin, crocetin, safranal and picrocrocin, which are the most important biologically active components of saffron. They belong to the category of carotenoids, including crocin and crocetin.

Saffron is a small, bulbous, perennial spice that belongs to the lily family. For production, the stigmas must be carefully selected by hand, cut from a white sheet, then carefully laid out on a sieve and dried over a fire to enhance the flavor. The process is labor intensive, making it the most expensive spice in the world. Currently, saffron is produced in Iran, Greece, Morocco, Spain, Kashmir and Italy.
