Saffron Spice 2g

Description

Bring the unmistakable aroma, golden color, and delicate flavor of premium Persian saffron to your kitchen. This 2g tin holds all-red (sargol) threads — the highest grade — prized for their potency. A small pinch, bloomed in warm water, transforms Persian rice (chelo and polo), tahchin, saffron tea, and sholeh zard.

A little goes a long way: steep a few threads and stir into rice, stews, desserts, or drinks for authentic color and fragrance. Stored airtight and away from light, it keeps its strength for a long time.

Goaldees sources authentic saffron and ships it fresh, nationwide across the US.

Also known as: زعفران (Farsi) · زعفران (Arabic)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real Persian saffron, and what grade is it?

Yes — this is 100% authentic Persian saffron, all-red (sargol) grade, the top grade prized for its potency, aroma, and color.

How much saffron should I use, and how do I prepare it?

A little goes a long way. For a pot of rice serving 4–6 people, 3–5 threads is typically enough. Crush the threads and steep them in warm (not boiling) water or milk for 10–15 minutes to release the color and aroma, then stir the liquid into your dish.

How should I store saffron to keep it fresh?

Keep it in its airtight tin, away from light, heat, and moisture. Stored properly, saffron holds its potency for two years or more.

What makes premium saffron different from lower grades?

Grade depends on how much of the red stigma (versus the less flavorful yellow style) is included. All-red sargol saffron like this has no yellow parts, giving it stronger color, aroma, and flavor than lower grades.
