Saffron Background

Posted on December 11, 2009, 12:19 pm, by ken, under quality ingredients.


Saffron cultivation has been recorded for over 3000 years. The wild saffron crocus was Crocus cartwrightianus. Human cultivators bred the saffron we are familiar with today by selecting saffron with unusually long stigmas, this way a sterile mutant form of C. cartwrightianus, C. sativus, emerged in late Bronze Age Crete. Saffron has been documented as having been used to treat over 90 different illnesses. Today saffron is mostly just used as a spice though it has been considered an anodyne, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, diaphoretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, and sedative.

    I agree, Yovia should a payment processing like other websites. I have no idea that this is how their system works.

    I can’t figure it out yet either.

    I just joined & have been looking for the answer to that too.  I haven’t found it yet.

    I just joined and there is a lot of stuff missing from this site. It’s difficult to find answers for a lot of things. There is no total or amount of what we have earned to date? Do we have to go through and track every single offer we have claimed to invoice it? If the minimum payout is $50, that would be a lot of things to keep track of. I hope yovia is going to make this easier.

    ”
    Invoices must include a listing of individual links to posts and the date each post was completed on the invoice.”. Do you guys realize how LONG this would take to do????? They really need to find an easier way to do this!!!!

    I don’t even know where to look to see what I have earned.  Very frustrated.

    Do we have to provide links to Facebook & Twitter opportunities…doesn’t seem to make sense…It would all be on advertisers walls, etc…
