Is saffron a spice or herb?

Saffron comes from the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus. In the kitchen it is used as a spice for colour and flavour; in herbal medicine it is valued as a traditional plant remedy studied for mood, cognition and women's health.

Whether you enjoy it in food or discuss it with your naturopath, quality and sourcing matter. At Green Door Health we focus on evidence-informed use within personalised care plans.
