Scope

Main technical content: Saffron originated in West Asia and the Mediterranean coast. It was introduced to China by Zhang Qian during the Western Han Dynasty and has a cultivation history of more than 2,100 years. The medicinal part of saffron is the tubular flower without the ovary. Due to its rich content of red pigment and yellow pigment, it was initially used as a dye, but later became a herbal medicine for its "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" effect. Saffron seeds have the function of "promoting blood circulation and detoxifying"; the oil content of saffron seeds is 20% to 40%, with an average linoleic acid content of more than 75%. It is known as the "king of linoleic acid", and it also contains rich vitamins and essential amino acids for human body. In history, saffron was grown in many provinces, among which Sichuan "Sichuan saffron" and Henan "Wei saffron" are the most famous, and they are also the ancient native production areas. In recent years, the commercial cultivation areas of saffron are mainly concentrated in Xinjiang, Yunnan, Gansu, Henan, Sichuan and other places. The production technical specifications listed in this document are applicable to the production of saffron in Henan, and other ecologically similar production areas can also refer to them in accordance with the actual situation of the production area.
