Saffron is one of the most aromatic precious spices with long history of use in food, drink, and fine fragrances. Saffron threads come from delicate flowering plant called Crocus Sativus. Each delicate purple bloom produces just three golden red threads. Best quality Saffron grows in full sunlight and ideally in sloping surfaces facing sunlight. The threads are then sundried and carefully graded to produce the highest quality. This particular grade of Negin Saffron is of highest quality containing maximum amounts of vital Saffron components such as Picrocrocin, Safranal, Crocin. These Saffron strands are grown using traditional methods and checked carefully to ensure highest quality and purity.
