Baba Saffron

The success story of Herat as a leading saffron productive province is attributed to Haji Mohammad Akbar, or as he is fondly called “Baba Saffron”. The title was given by former president Hamid Karzai because Baba Saffron reintroduced the cultivation of saffron to Herat decades ago.

Provenance

Saffron comes from a flower called Saffron Crocus (Crocus Sativus). There are hundreds of different types of this flower that bloom in autumn, but only a few have the crimson-coloured stigma that is used as saffron spice.

Exotic aroma

The precious spice has a strong exotic aroma and a slightly bitter taste. It is traditionally used to flavour special dishes and sweets in Asian and Mediterranean cuisines. Some like to consume it as an herbal infusion or add it to their regular tea for the flavourful aroma.

Message from our Founder & CEO

Hi, I am Iqbal Rasooli.

Like many Afghans, I thought of leaving the country at some point for a better life. However, deep down I realised that my country needs me more than the foreign currency I would transfer from some other country. So, I worked with NGOs and international organisations that help rebuild the country and support its least fortunate communities.

At a certain point it was not enough, Afghanistan is growing rapidly and more needs to be done. Here I decided to be a cog in its industrial and agricultural growth.
