Why choose the Economy pack?

This pack keeps presentation simple, without elaborate gift packaging or decorative extras. It is a practical choice for home cooks who want saffron for their recipes.

Pure saffron, without additives

The pack contains genuine saffron threads with no added colours, fillers or anti-caking agents. The saffron is carefully selected and gently processed to preserve its characteristic colour and aroma.

Directly sourced from Herat

Our saffron comes from family saffron farms in Herat, Afghanistan. It is harvested by hand and traditionally dried. Direct sourcing helps us keep the origin clear and offer a straightforward everyday pack.

The metal tin provides practical storage. Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light, and follow the best-before date on the pack.

Cooking with saffron

A small amount adds saffron colour and aroma to a recipe. Lightly crush the threads if desired, steep them in a little warm liquid, then add the infusion and threads to your dish.
