Raihan Saffron
Cosecha de Herat de 2026, lote 004389 · año impreso en cada botella
Premium Afghan saffron threads — a sealed 50 g bulk pack for restaurants, cafés, tea shops, and high-use kitchens. Approximately 12,500 long, all-red threads of ISO 3632-1:2010 Category I saffron, verified on all tested parameters, from Herat, Afghanistan. The right format if you run a rice program, a paella service, a biryani Sunday brunch, a saffron beverage menu, or a pastry program with saffron in regular rotation.
Volume pricing — a lower per-gram rate than our smaller bottles. For larger volumes — 100 g and 1 kg — see wholesale pricing. Most restaurant programs settle into a recurring monthly order at this size or higher. Saffron for restaurants →
Restaurants running paella, biryani, kabuli pulao, risotto Milanese, or bouillabaisse on the menu. Cafés and tea shops with a signature saffron latte, golden milk, or saffron rose tea. Bakeries and pastry programs using saffron in breads, custards, and ice cream. Specialty grocers stocking premium spice. Heavy multi-cuisine home cooks. Restaurant details → | Tea shop details →
A restaurant running 30 paellas/week burns ~6–9 g/week — so a 50 g bulk pack lasts approx. 6–7 weeks at that volume. A café running one signature saffron drink uses 5–15 g/month — a 50 g bulk pack is approx. a 15-week supply. Bakeries vary widely; most settle around 10–25 g/month per saffron item.
Is there a wholesale tier above this? Yes — 100 g+ unlocks meaningful per-gram discounts, custom labeling, and private-label co-pack. Wholesale program →
Can I get a sample bottle before committing? For wholesale relationships, yes — email raihansaffronco@gmail.com with your business name and we'll arrange a sample.
How is the 50 g bulk pack packaged? Sealed crystal-clear bottle with a tight-fitting cap, designed for repeated daily access in a working kitchen. Store in a dry cabinet away from heat and direct light.
How fast can you ship? Standard orders placed by 4 PM Eastern ship the same day, Monday to Saturday, from Lynn, Massachusetts — Sunday orders ship Monday morning. Recurring wholesale schedules can be set up on a monthly cadence.

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.
Standard U.S. shipping is $6.95 flat — free on orders over $39. Orders placed by 4 PM Eastern ship the same day, Monday to Saturday, from Lynn, Massachusetts, and arrive in 2–7 business days with tracking.
Every bottle is covered by our 30-day potency guarantee: bloom a pinch, and if it doesn't turn deep gold within 10–15 minutes, we'll replace it or refund you in full. No restocking fee, no questions.
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.
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.
Hebras enteras. No vendemos azafrán en polvo porque el polvo es el lugar más fácil para que se oculten los sustitutos.
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?
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.

De Herat a tu cocina
Cada botella comienza con flores de azafrán recogidas a mano al amanecer en Herat, Afganistán —la región que muchos chefs consideran el mejor terruño de azafrán del mundo. Los estigmas se secan el mismo día, se clasifican según la categoría I de la norma ISO 3632 y luego se sellan a mano en pequeños lotes en nuestras instalaciones de Lynn, Massachusetts. Sin almacenes, sin polvo, sin mezclas.
