Nawroz, also known as Norouz or Persian New Year, is a traditional festival celebrated in many countries, including Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and parts of India and Pakistan. The festival falls on the vernal equinox, which usually occurs on March 21st, marking the start of spring and the beginning of the new year. Nawroz is a time for celebrating new beginnings, renewing friendships and family ties, and enjoying traditional foods and festivities. The holiday has been celebrated for thousands of years and is an important part of the cultural heritage of many communities around the world.
🌱 Spring has arrived at our farms in Heray Spice, and our hardworking farmers are busy tending to our precious saffron flowers! 🌺 As the weather warms up, we are thrilled to see our fields bursting with vibrant hues of purple and orange.
Did you know that the life cycle of saffron flowers is fascinating? They bloom for only a few short weeks in the autumn months before the delicate petals wilt and the precious crimson threads are carefully harvested by hand. But before that, in the spring, our farmers work tirelessly to ensure that the flowers receive the proper care and attention to thrive and produce the best quality saffron.
Sustainability is at the core of our farming practices here at Heray Spice. We understand the importance of protecting our land and resources, and strive to maintain a balance between farming and environmental preservation.

At Heray Spice, we are proud of what we do and the values we uphold. Join us in celebrating the hard work of our farmers this spring and the beauty of saffron flowers in bloom! 🌸🌺🌼
