Did You Know?

Discover fascinating facts about the world's most precious spice

?

Why is saffron so expensive?

Each saffron flower produces only 3 delicate stigmas, and it takes approximately 150,000 flowers to produce just 1 kilogram of dried saffron. All harvesting must be done by hand at dawn, making it one of the most labor-intensive crops in the world.

?

Where does the best saffron come from?

Persian (Iranian) saffron is universally recognized as the highest quality in the world. The unique climate, soil composition, and centuries of cultivation expertise in regions like Khorasan create ideal conditions for producing the most potent and flavorful saffron threads.

?

How can you identify authentic saffron?

Genuine saffron threads are deep red with slightly orange tips, never uniformly colored. They release their golden color slowly in water and have a distinct honey-like aroma with metallic notes. Real saffron is never cheap, and suspiciously low prices often indicate adulteration.

?

How long does saffron last?

When stored properly in an airtight container away from light and moisture, high-quality saffron retains its potency for up to 3 years. However, for optimal flavor and aroma, we recommend using it within 1-2 years of purchase.
