FAQ
How much saffron do I use?
For most dishes, 10 to 15 threads is enough. Bloom in warm water or milk for 5 to 10 minutes before using.
How long will one bottle last?
For typical home cooking, 1 gram lasts most households several weeks. Heavy or daily users may go through it faster.
Is this saffron threads or powder?
Whole threads. We do not sell powdered saffron because powder is the easiest place for substitutes to hide.
Do you ship across the U.S.?
Yes. We ship across the United States with tracked delivery. Standard shipping is $8 flat, and orders over $49 ship free.
How much do I need?
A pinch is plenty.
Always bloom your threads first — 15 minutes in warm water unlocks color and aroma.
A guide, not a rule — adjust to taste. Bloom threads in warm (not boiling) water for 10–15 minutes.
