Saffron is a spice derived from the dried stigmas and styles of the Crocus sativus flower.
The main bioactive compounds in saffron stigmas are: crocins, crocetin, picrocrocin and safranal.
In addition, saffron also contains other active components such as carotenoids, zeaxanthin, lycopene, beta-carotene and polysaccharides.
Saffron, in addition to its culinary use, has been used in traditional medicine, among other uses, to promote a healthy mood balance.
