• 0.4oz - 10g
• Pure Spanish saffron hand-picked in La Mancha Spain.
• La Mancha saffron is renowned to be the highest quality in the world.
• 100% pure Spanish saffron with no additives.
• All natural and grown without pesticides or fertilizers.

Convenient storage box containing ultra-quality saffron threads.
Recommended size for Restaurants and Foodservice.

La Mancha Saffron (azafran) is the best quality available. Hand harvested from the crocus sativus flower, this is the absolutely indispensable ingredient in Spanish cooking. The Saffron from La Mancha accounts for a small portion of the world's production, but the quality is unmistakably superior to that grown in Turkey, Iran, and India. These Deep red threads (stigma) contain no waste or white plant parts (styles) that reduce the quality or add to cost; only the best of the best in our products!

Tips for use of Saffron:
Pimenton or Turmeric can mimic the color of saffron, but the wonderful flavor is unique to this prized spice.
We recommend 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Saffron threads be added to a recipe that serves 6-8 people.
Saffron releases it's flavor when heated, thus it is important to add the saffron before the dish is done cooking.
You may add the saffron directly to the dish, or infuse it in warm liquid to release the flavor. Feel free to experiment by making a saffron "tea" by using water, broth, or wine to add to your favorite recipe.
Some traditional recipes recommend gently toasting the saffron in a skillet (being careful not to burn) and then grinding prior to adding to the dish.
Powdered saffron has half the volume of thread saffron; 1/2 teaspoon of threads is about 1/4 teaspoon powder.

0.07 Oz / 2 Grams High Quality Persian / Iranian Saffron (ISO Certified)

0.07 Oz / 2 Grams High Quality Persian / Iranian Saffron (ISO Certified) Review

0.07 Oz / 2 Grams High Quality Persian / Iranian Saffron (ISO Certified) Feature

• Grade I Saffron
• 100% Pure Saffron Threads / Filaments
• Highest Coloring Strength besed on ISO Standards
• ISO & HACCP Certified
• All Red. No Flower Waste (yellow parts) added

Very Important: Saffron must have the following characteristics to be considered pure: 1- Saffron threads (filaments) are all vivid crimson color with a slightly lighter orange-red color on the tips. This indicates that it's not cheap saffron that has been tinted red to look expensive. Note: If saffron threads display telltale dull brick red coloring, it's an indication of age and very low quality. 2- Aroma is strong and fresh. 3- No other yellow plant parts (style) should be mixed in with the red threads. Note: The yellow parts are flower wastes and don't have any of the saffron benefits, but they sure do add a lot of dead weight. 4- Saffron threads are dry and brittle to the touch. Note: If the threads are not dry, it indicates that your saffron has a lot of moisture trapped inside, and you will be paying for a lot of dead weight.

Spanish Saffron 14 Gram Jar Packaged in Castilla-La Mancha 230+ Color Rated Feature

• Certified 230+ Color - ISO Category #1 Saffron

Saffron is one of the few things that truly are worth its weight in gold. This product of the crocus flower adds not only pungent aromatic flavor to foods, but also vibrant color. With a certified color score of 230+, this is this one of the best Saffron's available in the world. Elite quality Spanish "Coupe" Saffron is so good you just need to follow the adage "less is more" as just a pinch will go a very long way. This is because of the exceptionally quality of this specific crop, in comparison Saffron with an ISO rating of Category 2 (150-170 color score) yields just one fourth the potency of our product. Saffron botanical name is Crocus Sativus, it is estimated that it takes a little more than 14,000 stigmas to produce only one ounce of saffron (Did you know they are picked by hand?). So remember you are paying for quality and that will become evident as you smell and use this wonderful "Coupe" variety from Spain. Lab tested for purity /color potency both at the source (Spain) and domestically (NYC/USA).

Exir, Saffron Dietary Supplement 120-tablets. The Worlds Most Exotic Spice Is the Most Beneficial to Health (See the Benefits in Health) Feature

• All natural and made in the USA from finest quality of saffron
• Contains no artificial colorings, no additives or sugar
• Help keep cholesterol level normal

Epicure Garden is proud to be forging a name in the global health supplement market with Exir saffron dietary supplement. Here is a review of Dear Pharmacist, Dr. Suzy Cohen regarding Exir Saffron. Saffron is a super strong antioxidant with "housekeeping" benefits that clean you up from head to toe. Pay attention here because I'm going to summarize the research. Saffron has anti-cancer effects, for all sorts of tumors. It enhances male fertility. It helps relieve anxiety and tension. And ladies, it eases the discomforts of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In Texas, researchers proved that saffron improves circulation to the retina so it's a promising treatment for macular degeneration, a major cause of blindness. One clinical trial concluded "preliminary evidence of a possible therapeutic effect of saffron extract in the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease." It's also an anti-spasmodic. Whew! Do you see why I think Saffron is one of the best kept health secrets?! If you'd like to try a saffron supplement - and I've just begun taking one myself - make sure you buy from a reputable company, such as Exir. I have to warn you, pure authentic saffron is expensive, but worth it. Fake makers of it cut the saffron with other yellow-orange spices but Exir is 100 percent saffron, and they source from organic flowers. It's not popular (yet) so you will need to ask your local health food store to order it, or just buy it online like I did at Epicure Garden.

• Hand Plucked in Spain
• Adds Rich Color, Aroma, and Flavor
• Many Medicinal Benefits
• Attractive Packaging is Perfect for Gifts
• Health and Kosher Certifications

Saffron is a strange and precious gift to mankind, whose mystery and high price are fully justified by its legendary attributes recognized for over 4000 years. Among the world's many wonderful spices, saffron is unique in its ability to not only add flavor and aroma to food, but also a deep rich color. Saffron threads are harvested by hand plucking of the red stigmas of the Crocus(Sativus L) flower. This a very tedious and painstaking artisan process(known as la monda) and briefly roasted(known as el tueste) over the dying embers of a fire. This process requires about 100,000 flowers to produce a single pound of saffron filaments. Grade 1(The finest La Mancha Quality) from Spanish Delight is one of the best produced in Spain. Production and distribution of Spanish saffron is very closely controlled. Lab results along with health and kosher certifications can be seen at www.azafranesalberola.com. Saffron has many claimed medicinal benefits for many afflictions such as alzheimer's, cancer, depression, overweight, PMS, allergies and heart disease. This attractively boxed premium saffron makes an excellent gift for the discerning chef.

• Soak in warm water for 15 minutes before using.
• On a mussel dish, or Paella or French Bouillabaisse (Fish Stew/soup)
• In a dressing on an apple/pear salad
• It is very time consuming and difficult to harvest and it's all hand done.
• Imported from France

Saffron seems (and is expensive) for very good reasons. It is very time consuming and difficult to harvest and it's all hand done. The purple flowers bloom in Fall and produce three long stigmas. These filaments are hand harvested with great care. The all encompassing flavor, slightly bitter, their wonderful aroma and beautiful orange/yellow color make it an exceptional spice.Originally from Asia Minor, it is now cultivated all over the Mediterranean. The sandy soil of the High Atlas mountains in Morocco is particularly suited for its cultivation.
