Saffron is the most expensive and sought after spice in the world, which actually costs more than gold!

The undisputed capital for saffron production is Persian, where the tradition dates back over 3,000 years. Chef's Choice Saffron Threads are 100% A grade quality Persian saffron, the highest quality saffron by international quality standard!

Saffron is produced from the saffron crocus flower (Crocus sativus). It is actually the dried stigmas (which are the insides of a flower that catch pollen) of the flower. The stigmas can only be picked by hand as machines are not delicate enough. Its value has been kept permanently high by labor-intensive harvesting methods that require around 500 stigmas from 160 flowers to produce 1 gram of saffron threads!

Saffron is valuable for its deep auburn colour and sweet flavour, as well as medicinal properties. Saffron contains several plant-derived chemical compounds that are known to have been anti-oxidant, disease preventing, and health promoting properties.

Just a pinch of fresh saffron is enough to enhance the flavor and color of the entire recipe.

This listing is for 2 units of 1 gram saffron threads that is packed in hard plastic box.
