What color is saffron?
The saffron color depends on many items. Originality, Purity, type, and freshness are most important items. So when we are talking about saffron color, we mean Pure and fresh Persian saffron. The saffron color is bright red. The brightness of saffron could be vary over the different type. For example, Super Negin type offer very bright and shiny red color. In contrast, the color of Pushal type is something between red and yellow.
When you put a thread of saffron in water, the color of water turn to goldish yellow, gradually. And reddishness of thread decrease a little. If the water color become red or orange you have fake saffron in hand, probably. Also, the water color should change slowly, not suddenly. So, if the water color change very fast, the saffron producer or seller added some color to thread to cheat you.
What does saffron taste like?
Most people who experienced the saffron taste in desserts or drinks think that saffron is sweet. In fact, they are completely wrong. Because the saffron taste is bitter and the smell is sweet. Honestly, the saffron taste is a nice and special bitter that you could not find it in any other spices or foods. Thus, if your saffron tastes sweet or sour it’s fake saffron and your seller added salt or sugar to increase the weight of saffron.
Anyway, some other people think that saffron taste is chilly. Maybe for the hot red color of saffron or categorize it as a spice. Because for them spice means pepper. Some other people who wrongly think that all spices come from India, expect saffron to taste to be hot and chilly, too. So, don’t forget that if you put a thread of saffron on your tongue, try to separate the bitter taste from the sweet smell.
What does saffron taste like?
As you probably know, lovely red filaments of saffron came out from saffron flowers. This flower is from the Iridaceae family and known as Crocus Sativus. Anyway, it’s probable that you heard other names like Saffron Crocus or Autumn Crocus instead of Crocus Sativus. Saffron flowers have purple petals with yellow stamen and red stigma in the middle of them. Although all parts of Crocus Sativus are useful, the most important part is the red stigma known as saffron. Saffron threads are derived from saffron flowers and after a process of drying and quality control are ready to use as a spice.
What is types of saffron speice ?
Generally, 6 types of saffron are derived from the Crocus Sativus plant. From top to down Super Negin, Negin, Sargol, Pushal (or Poshal), Dasteh, and Konj (Style) are saffron types, respectively. In these types, Super Negin offers the highest level of chemicals like Crocin, Picrocrocin, and Safranal and consequently offer powerful color, taste, and smell. Also, Super Negin filaments are thicker and longer than other types. In contrast, the Konj type is white and offers the lowest level of saffron chemicals, color, taste, and smell. Generally, we suggest using Super Negin, Negin, or Sargol types. At the moment, we are offering the highest quality of Persian Super Negin.
Qestions related to Saffron quality, taste and grow
Understanding the difference between type, grade, and originality is essential. As we mentioned above, the Best type of saffron is Super Negin. Also, we know that the original saffron comes from Persian lands. So, if you look for the best saffron in the world, you should search for Suer Negin Persian saffron, Grade A+.
Of course, you should check that it’s real saffron. Some sellers offer fake saffron and label it as the best saffron. The above color and taste sections explained the differences between counterfeit and natural saffron. Some companies sell saffron from other origins like India or Spain as Persian saffron. So, have in mind these items to quickly find the best saffron in the world.
Honestly, the nearest saffron shop near you is on your smartphone or computer. Just search “saffron price”, “Persian saffron price” or “Iranian saffron price” to find the best stores in the first three links. When an online saffron shop appears in the first links of Google, it shows that many people visit that website and buy saffron from them. Also, it proves that they are focused and have a long history in the saffron business. Consequently, they are professionals and hate to lose their credit by selling fake or low-quality saffron. Please note it’s better to choose online shops that are focused on saffron. Mostly, the online shops that sell many other things are not professional in the saffron business.
Anyway, if you don’t trust online shops, like my granny, you should look for traditional stores in your neighborhood. It’s a little time-consuming to find a store with original saffron, except in the Middle East. Anyway, who seeks will find. Please have in mind things that we said about real saffron characteristics.
The extraordinary taste and smell of saffron make it very special for fragrant foods, desserts, or drinks. Anyway, Because of its price and accessibility, using saffron in recipes is not usual. Meanwhile, we try to introduce it and make it accessible at the lowest possible cost for all people worldwide.
The “Kitchen” page on our website is consists of many recipes for foods, desserts, and drinks that are fragrant with saffron. If you cannot find your favorite recipe, let us know. We will add it to this page immediately. Also, on the Saffron in Restaurants page, you will discover why restaurants use saffron in the recipe of their menu.
Moreover, we explain the two ways for saffron preparation to use it in your cooking in a better way in “Saffron uses in cooking.”
Of course NOT! How growing this peaceful flower could be illegal? Legally, it’s ok to plant and grow Crocus Sativus for personal use in any part of the World. But, selling saffron is another subject. In some countries, it’s legal to sell your saffron harvest without getting certificates or permits. In contrast, in most countries, you should pass the authorization process to get qualifications for marketing and selling saffron.
Technically yes. The most important items in growing saffron are Weather, Soil, water, and good saffron bulbs. Today, you can find saffron bulbs on the internet and order them. But not at our online shop!
Next, you should find appropriate soil for planting saffron bulbs. Soil should be a combination of clay, lime, and sand. The land should be limestone and the pH should be between 7 and 98. The ground should be wet, passion and acidic, and nutrient. Collect weeds before cultivating weeds and gather rocks from the ground. There should not be an organic matter that is not parsed in the soil.
The most effective part of saffron cultivation is Weather. Saffron is a flexible plant and doesn’t need very special weather situation. To cultivate saffron we need Very cold winter, not very hot summer, and at least two or three summer rain.
It depends! But don’t worry. Normal use of saffron never hurts you. In contrast, it could be very beneficial. But overusing saffron in specific conditions could affect your health in a negative way. For example, eating more than 3 grams can poison you. Please note that with 3 grams of saffron you can make saffron milk for at least 20 people. Also, pregnant women or people with special diseases or health conditions should use saffron under control and with the advisement of their doctor.
Crocus Sativus does not grow from seeds. Saffron flowers come out from bulbs that are known as saffron corn. These bulbs are like onion but smaller. Also, the color of saffron bulbs is brown, not red or white.
Generally, saffron bulbs are of two types; female and male. Male bulbs are small onions planted in the ground but do not flower and have no use for agricultural land. In contrast, saffron flowers grow from female bulbs. One of the fantastic features of the saffron bulb is that it propagates in soil. It means that it makes saffron bulbs like itself in mud, like a lovely mother.
When to plant crocus sativus?
If you heard about the saffron and its price, probably you thought about the Saffron Crocus cultivation. Because, this tiny plant needs small space to grow and its highly valuable. In brief, we give you some hints about saffron cultivation here.
Saffron Crocus can be grown in dry and moderate whether condition. So, farms in subtropical zones are best places for Crocus Stavius cultivation. Anyway, it grow in temperate zone, too.
Saffron flowers grow from saffron bulbs that known as saffron Corn, too. Firstly, farmer plants the Saffron Corn underground and it remain for 4-5 years. In other words, flowers grow every year from same bulb for four to five years. Saffron planting time depends on the weather and soil specification of region. In Persian lands, it start in June and continue up to end of September. Anyway, the exact time depends on specifications of each region or farm. Usually, Saffron flowers grow in autumn. That’s why some people call it Autumn Crocus, too. In Persian lands Saffron Crocus blooms in early November and harvest time continue for 20-30 days. Note that Saffron cultivation needs, fertilizer, and long-term irrigation.
What is Crocus Sativus family?
Crocus Sativus is a species of flowering plant of the Crocus genus in the iris family Iridaceae.
Is saffron an Indian spice?
India is well known for its spices and hot tastes. Generally, when we are talking about an Indian food, first thing that comes to our mind is hot spices. Saffron as the most expensive spice in the world is also produced in India. Maybe for its hot red color, some people think that is an Indian hot spice. But both of them are incorrect. It’s not Indian spice and more important it’s not hot and chilly. Saffron originally comes from Persian lands, especially east parts of Iran, Khorasan province. You can see saffron all over Persian culture in Persian food, the literature, the poems, medications, the history, and so on. Today, Iran produce around 90 percent of world saffron and transfer it to all parts of the world.
Is yellow saffron spice, real saffron?
Of course not. Many saffron End-Users, except Middle East ones, ask this question. Especially people who looking for Saffron in Europe ask about saffron color. Because many traditional store in Europe sell yellow threads as saffron. I see it with my eyes in Munich, Budapest, Naples, etc. Saffron color should be RED. Otherwise its not saffron or at least we could say that is not pure saffron. It’s probably strings of other plants or maybe white threads colored by saffron water or turmeric. In above parts of this page we talk about saffron taste, color, smell and other characteristics. So, please read them precisely before going to saffron shop.
Why is saffron so expensive?
Saffron usually grows in restricted area of the world. Its production process is usually difficult. As result of which, saffron price is widely different in many parts of the world. Usually, Europe or USA brand owners unpack Persian saffron and sell it as their product. We can see a wide range of prices in European countries. For instance, saffron price in Italy vary between 6 to 7 Euros per gram. While, Persian saffron is about 3 Euro in the main land. Saffronir could easily provide a direct online access to the pure and fresh Persian saffron. People in European countries from Turkey to England can order first grade Persian saffron. Consequently, we will deliver it in 5-7 days to your address.
Where to buy saffron? Online saffron shops or traditional stores?
Honestly, Except the Middle East, It’s a little hard to find a store that sells saffron. Even if you find saffron in a Supermarket, probably it’s not pure, fresh and high quality. These days, best place to buy saffron is internet. Thanks to “World Wide Web” and international express companies, you can order and get everything online. There is many benefits in online shopping of saffron. First of all, you can have a nice price comparison between many suppliers and brands by few clicks in less than five minutes. Secondly, you can buy saffron online from original lands. Today, Many Persian companies offer highest quality of Persian saffron online. All of them looking for loyal and permanent saffron users. So, try their best to deliver best quality of Persian saffron.
When you want to buy saffron, you should have in mind many items to be happy at the end. You should define the selected saffron is fake or real, old or fresh, have high or low quality, and so on. In this regard, here is some method that could help you. In our opinion, online saffron shops offers better opportunities. Through online shops, you could check prices and qualities of all shops over the world. Moreover, you could pay through your bank account by few clicks and don’t need cash money. Of course, most of online saffron shops support their costumers by money back guarantee. Also, most of them offer their products by worldwide free shipping.
Is it OK to buy saffron from amazon?
In my opinion, there is better options than Amazon. Amazon is a great organization that changes the concept of shopping in an excellent way. They are nice in pricing and delivery but not specialized on products. Especially, when you decide to buy something very delicate and precious, like saffron, it’s better to look for specialized suppliers.
On the other hand, we get some feedbacks from our customers and visitors those have an unpleasant experience by buying saffron from Amazon. They mostly say that although price and delivery is good, they are not satisfied by quality. So, buy PS5, boots, or phones from Amazon, but for red gold look for online saffron shops who are professional in this field.
How much is saffron spice price?
Like all products, saffron price depends on many items. Most important ones are quality, quantity, type, and packaging and delivery status. For example, we offer 100 grams of highest quality of Persian saffron, Super Negin type, door to door delivery, 299 Euro. It Means 2.99 Euro per gram. Meanwhile, by changing each item, price would change dramatically.
So, when you decide to buy saffron online keep in mind these items. Also, note to final price that you pay, not the labaled price on product page. Some online saffron shops add packaging and delivery cost to final bill.
How much is saffron price per kg?
When you decide to buy saffron in kg, you should define the saffron type and grade. Then, make sure about the delivery term.
Because of customs rules and regulations it’s very hard to deliver bulk orders to door. But we are able to deliver kg scale orders to your address in Europe Union. For other parts of world it depends on the destination rules. Mostly, delivery term for other countries is FOB (Freight On Board), CFR (Cost and Freight) or CIF(Cost, Insurance and Freight). Most of times, Supplier include the delivery expenses to issued price.
We are able to supply all types of Persian saffron up to 100 kg per week. Price for bulk order is defined in our online shop, wholesale part. For more information and negotiations please send email to info@saffronir.com or send message on WhatsApp +491726468460
How much is saffron flower price in online saffron shop?
If you prefer to buy saffron flowers you should note that the process of separating saffron threads from flower a time consuming and delicate job. Anyway, it’s not usual to offer and sell saffron flowers. Meanwhile, saffron flower price in mainland like Iran is around 10 Euro. Considering shipping and delivery expenses it would be around 15-17 Euro in Europe.
Saffron flowers are supersensitive and touchy. So, it’s probable that became fade, withered or pale in shipping process. That’s why we suggest to shop saffron instead of saffron flower.
How I can find saffron crocus bulbs for sale?
If you are not located in Middle East, It’s nearly impossible to find saffron bulbs in your city or even country. But like online saffron shopping that we suggested before, you can find saffron bulbs on internet. As it is like onion, some people call it saffron onion. So search on web “saffron onion”, too. Anyway, it’s a very professional job. If you are not professional in agriculture and its not your profession, we don’t suggest to buy saffron bulbs by yourself. We propose to ask someone whose job is in this field. Because some dishonest people sell online bad and corrupted saffron bulbs.
