Iran Saffron The Majestic Gold Saffron

IRAN is The Worlds Largest Producer of Saffron

 (Super Negin Grade)

More than 80,000 crocus flowers must be planted, grown, hand-harvested and processed to make just one pound of Saffron.

It takes about three years from the time that crocus is planted as seeds to produce flowers. Since the process and its product are completely natural, wielding this flower in order to get the gold is very hard and needs expertise. This is another reason behind the high cost of spice.

To get the spice from the flower, one needs to dry its’ stigmas. The proper way is to cut the fibrous threads from the flower and then sun-dry them.

After that, you’ll be able to use the spice for cooking.

Persian saffron releases its flavor when is mixed with warm water. It takes about 15 minutes for this process to begin and the saffron threads continue releasing color and flavor for the following 24 hours.

We source our Saffron under strict criteria of ISO 3632 standards, which is a Grade A+ rating.

Grading

Grading of Saffron is an intense time taking process that requires skills and years of practice to polish skills.

Food Additives

Persian Saffron is an excellent replacement for synthetic food additives- for eg: instead of FD and C yellow no 5: a synthetic food coloring agent that is a very common allergy trigger, Saffron’s glorious yellow could be an acceptable hypoallergenic choice.
