Saffron and saffron are not the same.

Although saffron and saffron only differ by two words, they are different in all aspects, and they are also two different substances. We must pay attention to them clearly when using or purchasing them. .

As a kind of Tibetan medicine, saffron has been famous all over the world during the Ming Dynasty. However, Tibet in my country is not the origin of saffron. It is native to the Mediterranean and Greece in Europe, where it was originally used as a dye.

In ancient times, saffron usually came to China by land. From the Mediterranean, through Spain, Persia and other countries, and over the Himalayas to the interior. And Tibet is the only place that must be passed through on this journey. Over time, people believed that this safflower was produced in Tibet, so they gave it the name "saffron".
