Saffron (Zaferan) is a spice that is made from the flower Crocus Sativus, which is also known as Saffron Crocus. Some people call it the Red Gold. Because this spice is the world`s most expensive spice by weight. The reason behind this high price is that, it is super difficult to manually extract large number of stigmas.
This Spice is a 6 digit HS92 product. (HS Code: 091020)
Zaferan is made from the filaments which grow inside of this flower. The threads which are made from the stigma and style of the filaments are what we call saffron. Its Origin is Iran, although other countries produce it as well.
It`s taste and the fragrance is the result of the chemicals Picrocrocin and Safranal. Also, its coloring power is from the pigment called Crocin. The result of the coloring strength of its will is golden yellow tending to orange and red.
We export 5 different types of Saffron:
All Red Saffron | Super Negin Saffron | Best Iranian Saffron
All Red Saffron | Super Negin Saffron | Best Iranian Saffron : Negin Saffron is the most expensive type of Saffron because it has the highest quality compared to other types. When three stigma threads are attached together we call it Negin. Negin Saffron has a long thread, like Mancha (Pushal) and at the same time, it has even more coloring strength than Sargol. Negin is what people call the precious stone on the pieces of jewelry in Farsi.
Quality of saffron is based on 3 factors:
- Crocin is a chemical that is responsible for the color of Saffron. The higher the Crocin the higher the coloring strength of Saffron. Customers demand high Crocin level Saffron.
- Safranal is a constituent responsible for the aroma of Saffron. In other words, it is why saffron smells how it does.
- Picrocrocin is why saffron tastes a little bit bitter and it is responsible for the taste of Saffron.

Saffron Powder
Saffron Powder is not a kind of saffron such as Negin or Pushal. It is a form of saffron, which producers make from grinding the saffron threads in the industrial scope. The final product color is slightly lighter than the thread itself. For example, if we produce saffron powder from Negin All Red, the final powder color is a little bit lighter than Negin itself. So. as a result the coloring strength is a little bit less.
the reason why saffron powder has high demand is that it is much easier for producers and customers to measure it accurately. Also, it is much easier to use in preparing a dish as it mixes up with the ingredients and spices perfectly. Since it dissolves easily into foods and dishes. There will not be any visible threads of saffron in your finished dish but it adds a wonderful flavor and taste to it.
