The simple chart

  • 0.5 g = 5–10 dishes (or one ambitious dinner party). Sample size.
  • 1 g = 10–15 dishes. Solo cook or single saffron-tea drinker.
  • 2 g = 20–30 dishes. Most popular size. Lasts a couple 6–12 months.
  • 4 g = 40–60 dishes. Family cook or small café.
  • 10 g+ = wholesale.

Pinch math

1 pinch ≈ 0.1 g ≈ 20–30 threads.

When to size up

If you find yourself opening the bottle twice a week, the 4 g is better value. If you forget you own it, the 1 g is fine.

How that maps to our bottles

Raihan Super Negin comes in five harvest-dated glass bottles. Because high-crocin threads need a smaller dose, each size stretches further than the generic chart above — and the per-gram price drops fast as you size up:
