What Are The Benefits Of Using Saffron?
Aside from being the most flavourful spice in the world, the benefits of Saffron exceed that of any other spice.
One benefit of saffron that people experience is a boost in their overall mood. This occurs because saffron acts on the serotonin receptors in the brain, responsible for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.
When consumed regularly, Persian saffron can increase serotonin levels, improving overall mood and decreasing common symptoms associated with anxiety and depression.
Other benefits of fresh saffron include:
Persian saffron has natural pain relieving properties
The highest quality organic saffron can improve memory and concentration
Persian Saffron acts as a natural alternative to increasing the libido in both men and women
Premium Persian saffron has a variety of Vitamins, Minerals, and Anti-Oxidants
The highest quality organic saffron acts as an Anti-inflammatory
Persian Saffron promotes healthy sleep patterns by helping you get to sleep faster and staying asleep longer.

"This research shows us that people who are employed on trial periods are being increasingly treated as disposable,” CTU President, Richard Wagstaff said. “Working people need fairer laws to protect them from this type of employment practice. The Government needs to act to ensure that working Kiwis are being treated fairly and removing trial periods from the law would ensure that employers were not able to treat working people as being a disposable resource." The MBIE research showed 80,070 employers used trial periods during the year, but Wagstaff suspected many more Kiwi workers were on trial. The research showed that 20,300 employers dismissed an employee during or at the end of the trial period: “But once again we suspect many more Kiwi workers have been sacked by their employers,” Wagstaff said. The figures are up from 2014 and 15 when the figures were 57,600 and 13,600 respectively. "Trial periods are unfair and unnecessarily. We need to make our employment laws fairer for all Kiwis - removing trial periods from law is urgently needed," Wagstaff said.
After May 6, only businesses with fewer than 20 employees will be able to use the 90-day trial period.

Phasing plastic packaging out is a mammoth task, but some of the industry's main players are working hard to promote change. Next time you're at your local supermarket, have a look around. Go up and down each aisle and have a good nosey. How much stuff is in packaging of some kind? Most of it, yes? And now consider this: how much of that packaging is really necessary? The answer is not as simple as you think. Take a cucumber wrapped in plastic. Ridiculous, right? Not so, says Paul Evans, CEO of industry body WasteMINZ. "Everyone goes 'this is terrible, it's unnecessary.' But that plastic is necessary to extend the life of the cucumber, shield it from bruises, protect it during transport and keep it safe from contaminants," he says. "People don't realise that wasting that cucumber is far more environmentally damaging than the bit of plastic around it. It's had water and energy put into it, it's been transported to market – maybe from overseas – so there are emissions associated with it. "Then when it degrades, it goes to a landfill and creates methane. People go 'oh, it's just a bit of food', but there are impacts associated with that." It's a small example, but one illustrative of the complexity of the challenge faced by the world as we try to wean ourselves off single-use plastic. It's not as simple as just getting rid of the stuff. But single-use plastic, as we all should know by now, is a problem. A big problem. In 2017, the first-ever global tally of how much plastic has been produced, discarded, burnt or put in landfills since the mass production of the stuff began 60 years ago came up with this figure: 8.3 billion tonnes. If that's sobering, consider this: only 9% of it has been recycled. That's right, most of it is still out there in some form – sources vary, but it can take plastic anywhere between 400-1000 years to degrade. Increasingly, it's in the sea. Each year, 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the oceans and if we carry on at this rate, there will be more plastics than fish in there by 2050. It's fair to say it's bad, then. And it's been bad for a while.
