Special price: $5.60 per gram

We take pride in offering you the freshest, purest, and ethically sourced saffron!

Harvesting saffron is awe-inspiring. Before the sun rises, women carefully hand-pick each delicate blossom during the short harvest season, ensuring every thread meets the highest standard. The process is meticulous and precise—it takes 70,000 flowers to produce just one pound of saffron-hence its rarity and value.

REVIEWS

“Impeccable Quality, Taste, and Medicinal Properties.

After reading the medical benefits about the uses of saffron — eg as effective as Pharmaceuticals for ADD/ADHD (well tolerated by teens — according to the medical literature) and depression, and more effective than existing prescription meds for fighting dementia—I learned of Mina Sahar Saffron from a friend. And boy does it deliver! It’s the highest quality of saffron, ethically sourced, empowering women in the ancient spice trade. Daily, I add 15-20 threads (circa 25 mg of active ingredients) to my morning coffee for medicinal purposes. Or as a boost to a chai latte. My cooking is benefiting tremendously—it’s divine in my red sauce for lasagnas and pasta. Saffron rice, stews, soups, risotto, pasta sauce, lattes, and curry. This year, I had so much fun gifting saffron to friends and neighbors. Ordering the oz makes for a wonderful abundance. I thought it would last the year, but it may not because I’ve got a quarter of it left and it’s only April. At $150 am ounce, which is $5 a gram, it’s an amazing offer. And given the medicinal properties, well worth 1000x its weight in gold.”

“The Best Saffron Ever!

Receiving this was such a pleasure. I ordered a full ounce, and what arrived was the biggest quantity of saffron I've ever seen — and I measured it and it was just over an ounce — and at a great price. It's a beautiful deep color, the smell is wonderful, and it made for a perfect risotto Milanese. I look forward to many more risottos, and other rice dishes, and a saffron sponge cake I saw the recipe for. I'll be buying all my saffron from this vendor from now on.”
