Saffron in Iranian culture is not just a spice for coloring and flavoring food; its traces can be seen in wedding customs, charitable offerings, mourning rituals, and the folk beliefs of the people. A plant that once symbolized luxury and value has gradually found its way into the daily lives of people, establishing its presence in situations where color and aroma, food and rituals converge, and now it has dedicated a day in the national calendar to itself.
