History Of Saffron The saffron crocus is thought to have come originally from Greece and Asia Minor, but it has been cultivated from times beyond historical record. It was used in ancient Persia, was known at the time of King Solomon (circa 960BC) and was in great demand by the Phoenicians. It was used to dye the robes of Irish Kings and is still used today in religious ceremonies. In ancient times, in some parts of the world, it was used as money and worth its weight in gold.
