100 g of Afghan saffron threads for professional use

This 100 g pack is designed for restaurants, event caterers, food manufacturers and specialist businesses that use saffron regularly. Whole saffron threads offer flexibility for recipe development and production.

Traceable origin

Documented assessment of batch L2025-01

Eurofins assessed batch L2025-01 as Special Grade under ISO 3632-1:2025, based on the tests performed. Report AR-733-2025-00206306-02, dated 24 August 2026, records:

• Crocin: 279 ± 7
• Picrocrocin: 104 ± 3
• Safranal: 30 ± 3
• Moisture: 7.5 ± 1.2%

These measurements apply to the tested batch. They provide a documented basis for evaluating colour strength and other tested quality parameters. Ask about the relevant batch documentation before specifying an ongoing supply.

Restaurants and event catering

Use saffron in rice dishes, risotto, paella, sauces, desserts and drinks. For larger menus, establish a measured quantity through recipe trials and use a consistent infusion method. The amount required depends on the recipe, portion size and desired intensity.

Food manufacturing and artisan production

Bakeries, pasta makers, confectioners and beverage manufacturers can use this pack for development work and regular production. Match the saffron to your process through trials, and agree the required batch specifications before ordering for a production run.

Specialist trade and further processing

The 100 g format is a practical option for businesses handling saffron in larger quantities. Discuss your intended use, specification and documentation needs with us. The published ISO quality assessment does not by itself establish suitability for a regulated pharmaceutical application.

Packaging and storage

Protective packaging helps limit exposure to light, air and moisture. Keep the pack tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light, and follow the best-before date and storage instructions on the label.
