Production: saffron flowers are sterile so they must be propagated by planting bulbs which last producing for 4-5 years. Saffron flowers bloom on October-November every year so they must be hand-picked early in the morning and then placed in baskets. Then the stigmas are separated and toasted at warm temperature. Once you have saffron filaments they must be ground on smerile miller to get the desired particle size if saffron powder is the product requested.
