Iran produces a significant portion of the world's saffron, making the spice quite affordable within its borders, with prices ranging between $500 to $5,000 per pound ($1,000 to $10,000 per kg). This is unsurprising, given Iran's position as the largest producer of saffron globally, and the top quality of its saffron harvest. Thus, visitors can get high-grade saffron at very reasonable prices, outside Iran, while paying a premium for the premium-quality spice. Show more
