Detalles
Premium Afghan saffron threads — a sealed 5 g bottle for serious cooks, large households, and small foodservice programs. Approximately 1,250 long, all-red threads of ISO 3632-1:2010 Category I saffron, verified on all tested parameters, from Herat, Afghanistan. Built for households or small businesses that cook with saffron multiple times a week.
At this size the per-gram cost drops sharply versus the smaller bottles. A 5 g bottle pays for itself if saffron lives on your cooking shelf year-round — and it's still small enough to finish well within the freshness window. Storage and shelf-life guide →

Who buys the 5 g bottle

What to make
The full recipe library — Persian, Afghan, Indian, Spanish, Italian, French, Lebanese, modern American. Rice, biryani, paella, risotto, bouillabaisse, kheer, ice cream, panna cotta, tea, lattes, golden milk, cocktails. About 50 dishes from a single 5 g bottle.
FAQ
How long does 5 g last? A weekly home cook: 8–12 months. A heavy cook (3+ times a week): 3–5 months. A small café running one saffron drink: roughly one month.
Will saffron lose flavor before I finish 5 g? Sealed, in a cool dry cabinet, no. Peak quality holds for about 2 years. Do not refrigerate.
Should I just buy two 2 g bottles instead? Per-gram, the 5 g is meaningfully cheaper and you get one harvest year (rather than potentially two) — simpler tracking, less packaging.

An Award-Winning Origin
Harvested in Herat, Afghanistan. Our supplier, Herat Saffron Ltd, was granted the International Taste Institute’s 2026 Superior Taste Award in Brussels for its Afghanistan Herat Saffron, judged by the Institute’s jury of chefs and sommeliers. Herat grows roughly 90% of Afghanistan’s saffron, and its high-altitude fields and hand-harvest tradition are why this origin is sought out by cooks who care what saffron tastes like.
One ingredient, nothing added: 100% pure Afghan Super Negin saffron threads — naturally gluten-free, vegan, and suitable for halal and kosher diets. No additives, no coatings, no fillers.

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Cuánto azafrán utilizo?
Para la mayoría de los platos, de 10 a 15 hebras son suficientes. Remojar en agua tibia o leche durante 5 a 10 minutos antes de usar.
¿Cuánto dura una botella?
Para la cocina casera habitual, 1 gramo suele durar varias semanas en la mayoría de los hogares. Los usuarios intensivos o diarios pueden consumirlo más rápido.
¿Son hebras o polvo de azafrán?
Hebras enteras. No vendemos azafrán en polvo porque el polvo es el lugar más fácil para que se oculten los sustitutos.
¿Hacen envíos a todo Estados Unidos?
Sí. Enviamos a todo Estados Unidos con entrega con seguimiento. El envío estándar cuesta $6.95 fijos y los pedidos superiores a $39 tienen envío gratuito. También enviamos a Canadá ($16) y al Reino Unido ($26).
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.

Really good saffron. Fresh, strong aroma. Definitely buying Raihan Saffron again.

Ordered at eleven at night not expecting anything until Monday. Got the shipping notification before I'd closed the laptop. That's not why I'm writing this though — the saffron is. Threads are long, dark red, no yellow at all. Bloomed it in warm water and it took a good twelve minutes to give up its colour, went proper gold, and the threads were still red when I poured it in. That's what real saffron does.

Finally saffron that actually tastes like saffron
I ordered the 1g bottle to try it before committing to more. The threads are long, all red, no yellow bits, and the smell when I opened the bottle was strong and sweet. I bloomed 5 threads in warm water for my rice and the color and flavor were night and day compared to the grocery-store stuff I used before. Shipped same day fast arrived in 2 days. Already planning to order the bigger bottle.
