"Deep and complex, Iranian saffron will bring warmth, color, and generosity to your dishes." Our saffron, from the Khorasan region, is Negin. These stigmas are longer than the extra Negin. The taste of the stigmas is very pronounced, allowing you to use very little to flavor your dishes. It is very rich in Picrocrocin (its taste), Safranal (its smell), and Crocin (its pronounced color). We have selected our producer both for the quality of their products and for their consideration of women within society. Indeed, many women work in saffron cultivation in Iran. Store in a cool, dry place away from light.
