The word “saffron” comes from the Arabic word “za‘farān” (زَعْفَرَان). From Arabic, it moved into Persian, Latin, and eventually English. The origin of the word is Arabic, but the spice itself has been used for thousands of years across Persia, Kashmir, Greece, and other ancient regions.

Kashmiri saffron, even today, is considered one of the finest forms of saffron in the world.
