Freshly flown in pure red Saffron strands from Persia. These strands are only the tip of the entire Saffron. We don't mix with any yellow or white parts of the strands, so that the absolute maximum flavour is available and sealed within specially for you. One look and you'll know this Saffron quality like no other you've tried before, and righly deserves it's place as the most expensive spice in the world. Bordering on the price of Gold! Don't buy prepowdered, as it's usually mixed with Turmeric, Paprika, or something else.

Industry Knowledge: Iran is known for their fascination with Saffron. Cultivated in the largest quantities around the world, Iranian Saffron is deserving of its crown as the emperor of spices. Although also sold from Spain, most Spanish Saffron tends to originate from Iran, and gets repackaged! A grain of good commercial Saffron contains the stigmas and styles of nine flowers, and consequently 4,300+ orchids are required to yield around 30 grams of Saffron. Saffron thrives best in warm sub-tropical climate. In Iran, it is grown in dry temperate conditions with the perfect level of rainfall, and the right elevation, thus ensuring its taste and distinct aroma cannot be matched.
