Saffron is graded based on the purity of its stigmas (red threads), the presence or absence of the style (the pale yellow part), and its color, aroma, and taste Three main compounds define these characteristics
Each saffron thread consists of two parts
Saffron is more than a spice — it is a delicate treasure born from the heart of each crocus flower. Its value lies in the purity of its vivid red stigmas, the precision of harvesting, and the harmony of flavor, color, and aroma
Each thread carries essential natural compounds: Crocin for color, Picrocrocin for taste, and Safranal for fragrance. Iranian saffron is carefully categorized based on the presence of the style (white part), thread length, and overall quality. From the luxurious Negin to the traditional Dasteh (Bunch), each type reflects a different aspect of craftsmanship and culture.
