What is Saffron?
Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of the saffron crocus (Crocus Sativus), a species of crocus in the family Iridaceae. The flower's three stigmas (the distal ends of the plant's carpel’s, or female reproductive organs) and parts of its style (a stalk connecting the stigmas to the rest of the plant) are often dried and used in cooking as a seasoning and coloring agent. Saffron, has, for decades, been the world's most expensive spice by weight. To learn more about saffron click here.

Why is saffron so expensive?
Saffron is known to be expensive, but it is really not so expensive considering how little of it is used at one time. An ounce of Saffron can be divided into 670 portions; the cost per portion may be as little as 5 cents using the purest form of it which we farm and vender. Since our saffron is farmed and harvested with highest standard, we recommend that you use 1/3 to 1/2 less of our saffron than recommended by most recipes.

What part of the world does Saffron come from?

Iran by far produces the most of the world’s saffron both in terms of the quantity and the quality. Iranian Saffron farmers for years have been known to the world market for their excellent production. Sadly, however, in the hand of the profiteers and middlemen, saffron from different part of the world is mixed to maximize the profit in the world’s market. Lower price rules and the quality take a back seat. One can easily notice the lower quality and additives by opening a sample of inferior saffron and realizing the mixture of red, yellow and white material style left attached to the stigma or the yellow coloring additive. You may also notice a musty smell and spongy texture due to excess moisture. On the other hand, we farm, produce and package our own saffron within our own cooperative establishment for the consumption among natives at a standard acceptable to those very familiar with saffron and understand it. You will only find stigma (threads) in our saffron. Order once and see for yourself. See pictures below.
