Pharmacy saffron prices
The situation in pharmacies is a bit better than in tourist markets, but small pharmacies have few genuine products, so we should use the prices at large pharmacies as a reference standard. Tongrentang's retail price is 70-100 yuan per gram, with price differences in different places. Taobao saffron prices: everyone knows that things on Taobao are generally cheaper than in physical stores, usually only dozens of yuan per gram, but there are many unscrupulous sellers on Taobao, so everyone should try to choose more legitimate sellers to avoid losing out.
Saffron wholesale prices in medicinal materials markets
There are four relatively large wholesale markets nationwide: Anguo Medicinal Materials Market, Bozhou Medicinal Materials Market, Hehuachi Medicinal Materials Market, and Yulin Medicinal Materials Market. The specific prices of medicinal materials change according to market conditions. Based on the price information from 2017, the specific prices are referenced as follows:
Premium Iranian saffron: 12000 yuan per kilogram
Domestically produced premium saffron: 30000 yuan per kilogram
⟦NL>Tibet does not produce saffron
In fact, saffron got its name because in ancient times saffron produced in Persia was introduced to Tibet through India, and then transported from Tibet to inland areas, so it was called saffron, causing many people to mistakenly think it was saffron produced in Tibet, but in fact it is not.
The above is the specific price trend and introduction for saffron in 2018. Friends who want to buy it need to be cautious. Shuaishuai Xiaobian suggests that before buying, you compare prices at several places according to the specific market trend, and then make your final choice and purchase.
