Saffron

Our Premium Afghan Saffron is known as "red gold" for good reason. Harvested from the stigma of the Crocus sativus flower, each tin contains hand-picked saffron threads of the highest quality. It imparts a beautiful golden-yellow color and a distinct, hay-like floral aroma to food that cannot be replicated by anything else.

Potent & Pure Saffron is not just a colorant; it is a potent antioxidant. It contains natural compounds like crocin and safranal, which are studied for their mood-boosting and health-protective properties. Because of its high potency, you only need a small pinch to transform a dish, making it a luxurious but long-lasting ingredient.

Culinary Masterpiece This is the defining ingredient for iconic dishes like Spanish paella, Italian risotto Milanese, and Indian biryanis. Steep the threads in a little warm water or milk before adding to your dish to release the maximum flavor and color. A must-have for the serious home cook.
