CULTIVATION & HARVESTING
ESPANIA ™ saffron is cultivated in La Mancha, the traditional region of Spain . The process of harvesting and preparation has been perfected until reaching the utmost quality which we can enjoy today. Until recently most of its inhabitants took an active part in growing and preparing saffron. Planting seeds in spring, and observing the change in landscape from September to November as the saffron flowers bloomed and the penetrating aroma filled ever corner of their houses. Harvesting time is at the end of October, beginning of November. The rose blooms at dawn and must be picked from the soil instantly. Lengthy exposure to light must be avoided, otherwise the flower withers and the stigmas lose color and aroma, preserving the final quality of the saffron. . Afterwards, the three red stigmas have to be hand-picked from the rest of the flower. This work done by hand is called “monda” or “esbrinar” and is considered as the most delicate part of the whole process and it is carried out in particular houses where all the members of the family and ... their neighbor’s get together and spend the whole day remembering old stories and anecdotes. Generally, this process is made by women provided with more dexterity on their hands and fingers than men Later, the stigmas are toasted at different temperatures almost immediately, a very complicated process which is unique and characteristic of La Mancha area which is passed on from generation to generation. About 235 thousand flowers are needed to gather one kg of saffron, makes Saffron the most expensive spice in the world (Red gold) 123

MAY IMPROVE MOOD AND TREAT DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS
Saffron is nicknamed the “sunshine spice.” That’s not just due to its distinct color, but also because it may help brighten your mood. In a review of five studies, saffron supplements were significantly more effective than placebos at treating symptoms of mild-to-moderate depression (6Trusted Source). Other studies found that taking 30 mg of saffron daily was just as effective as Fluoxetine, Imipramine, and Citalopram — conventional treatments for depression. Additionally, fewer people experienced side effects from saffron compared to other treatments (7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source). What’s more, both the saffron petals and thread-like stigma appear to be effective against mild-to-moderate depression (1Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source). While these findings are promising, longer human studies with more participants are needed before saffron can be recommended as a treatment for depression.
SUMMARY: Saffron may help treat symptoms of mild-to-moderate depression, but more studies are needed before definite recommendations can be made.
