Iran Hub of World’s Most Expensive Spice

The red gold, Zafaran (Saffron) is used constantly in Persian cuisine and culinary, it
plays the main role in delicious Persian food and sweet recipes. This expensive flower thread is used in dying woolen for Iranian Carpets, Persian Rugs and Yarns.

Since the Achaemenid dynasty up to now, saffron was known as a luxury spice. It is said that people used to throw saffron flowers to welcome and greet kings' arrival.

Iranian Saffron Cultivation and Farming:

Cultivating and growing saffron takes so much effort, time and only those who love saffron farm works can do the job. To harvest each ounce of Red Sargol of Saffron, it's needed to grow 7000 Purple Saffron! The saffron flower should be hand-picked and the stigmas should be taken precisely. To replenish saffron, and restore enough nutrients in the soil, it's a must to plant beans and grains for 7-10 years.

Most expensive spice in the world! And it's taken from a beautiful purple flower named Crocus Sativus. The farmers get the stigmas and styles (Threads) of this flower and dry it and it's frequently used in cooking, coloring and also for medicine! There is no wonder that saffron is called Red Gold! The persistence of the color and smell compared with natural ones is adorable!

The House of the Hatter in Yazd(yazd Water Museum) is one of the unique historical monuments related to the Qajar period in 1310 AH. Named merchant of Yazd; Mr. Seyyed Ali Akbar Kolahdooz built this building in 1266 AH on 3 levels of basement, downstairs and ground floor, which reaches 5 levels with the route of the aqueduct and the roof of the house. Two 2,000-year-old Zarch and Rahimabad aqueducts passed under this house and now it flows with 75 km of water.

Kolahdooz House was built due to the original architecture and utilizing the skills of Yazdi masters. The building of this building with an area of about 720 square meters is one of the most valuable architectural works of Yazd. Beautiful bedspreads of various designs and shapes on the wall and colorful sash have beautifully decorated the house.

The roof of Kolahdooz House has a workshop for pumping and using karez water, which is why this house has been turned into a water museum.

Zoroastrian crypt or Tower of Silent is one of the works of Zoroastrian religion in the southeast of Yazd, which was built centuries ago for the burial of the dead and today is one of the most significant works of Zoroastrians in Iran.

The crypt, the tower of silence, or the tower of silence is a place on a high place where corpses were placed to feed animals and birds. These places were not places to bury the dead; Rather, they were considered a place for the disintegration of their bodies.
