How we can claim to be selling the best saffron available in the U.S. The answer is simple. Iran's saffron production comprises more than 95% of the entire world production and we buy directly from the saffron co-operatives. Small saffron production and a long chain of middlemen between the farmer and you are the main reasons for saffron's high price. We pass the savings on to you because we want you to enjoy using saffron not just in cooking but in baking, as an iced or hot tea and in many desserts, including ice cream! We know that when it comes to saffron, you want quality and value, period.

If you calculate saffron's per recipe cost you will see how affordable it is. Our Sargol saffron is pure, potent and aromatic and flavors a recipe to feed six for just thirty cents. So with just one gram of Sargol saffron you can give aromatic flavor and gorgeous yellow color to either four recipes different recipes or one dish large enough for a big group. And you do not need to worry about buying an ounce of Sargol saffron because it has a shelf life of several years. All you have to do is keep it sealed in the beautiful tin can it’s pack in and away from light.

Finally, a note about the difference between Sargol saffron threads and powder. Both are excellent. Both are easy to use. It comes down to personal preference. For maximum flexibility, choose the threads. This way you can prepare dishes which show off the whole threads and you can easily crush the threads into powder for maximum color diffusion in dishes where this may be particularly important.

What is coloring strength?

The general range of saffron coloring strength could be form 110-250+. Our saffron has a range of minimum of 230 to 255 degrees of color. The coloring strength should be clearly posted in the tin can according to ISO. Our saffron does not contain any other part of the saffron plant except the pure red stigmas, which contain ALL of the spice's aroma, flavor and natural dye.
Coloring power is the only measuring tool that assures you of CONSISTANT saffron quality. To get this number, saffron's principal chemical compound, CROCIN, is measured in a laboratory.
