How is saffron harvested?

Saffron is one of the most important plants that has attracted the attention of many people around the world due to its special taste and aroma. The importance of saffron has made its business full of sustenance, so that many people have turned to planting saffron in recent years. Saffron grows better in areas with moderate climate, but it can also be planted in dry and semi-tropical areas.
Producers should pay attention to not only paying attention to planting saffron, but paying attention to the points of harvesting saffron is more important. Perhaps it can be said that the most difficult and sensitive stage of its cultivation is harvesting saffron.

This step includes the following steps

picking flowers
Separating the stigma from the flower
Drying the stigmas
Saffron packaging

Regarding harvesting saffron, the important point is that the lifespan of saffron flowers is usually three or four days. If it is exposed to hot air, sunlight and wind for a long time, its aroma will decrease and the quality of saffron will be lost. This will ultimately be detrimental to the producer and farmer.
