'''Saffron''' is a spice derived from the flower of ''{{Wiki|Crocus sativus}}'' that is mainly used as a food coloring or a seasoning.

==History==
In the early 16th century, saffron was a commodity and trade item in Italy, for it was believed to contain some healing properties. Saffron was collected by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Mentor]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] of the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins|Italian Brotherhood]] during his [[Liberation of Rome|campaign]] against the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Cesare Borgia]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

The Assassins utilized it to [[Crafting (Project Legacy)|craft]] one of their [[poison]]s by mixing it with [[nutmeg]], [[Poppy|opium]], and [[ricinus]]. An Assassin team consisting of poison specialist [[Tessa Varzi]], [[Francesco Vecellio]], and [[Cipriano Enu]] were known to collect these ingredients on their missions.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' − [[Rome: Chapter 3 – Francesco Vecellio]]</ref>
