Working definition

The working definition appears to be, "history and use of saffron".--Pharos 02:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vital improvements

This topic meets current criteria well, and is even a "perfect" featured topic since all of its articles are FAs.--Pharos 02:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potential improvements

There is no obvious room for improvement in the current articles.--Pharos 02:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible additions

There are no other articles on the subject of saffron in Wikipedia (and we probably cover the subject in more depth than any other general encyclopedia), but still there probably is room for one or two more articles on specific saffron-related subjects here.--Pharos 02:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Something like a list of saffron-producing regions maybe? Tuf-Kat (talk) 21:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The following articles could be added as related to saffron:

Crocin, Picrocrocin and Safranal, compounds found in saffron
Saffron (color), so-called for being the colour of saffron the spice
Other articles also about things named after saffron
