Detalles
Premium Afghan saffron threads — a sealed 2 g bottle, our most-popular size for serious home cooks. Approximately 500 long, all-red threads of ISO 3632-1:2010 Category I saffron, verified on all tested parameters, from Herat, Afghanistan. The right amount for a household that uses saffron weekly: rice, tea, the occasional biryani or paella, with months of headroom.
If you cook with saffron more than a few times a month, this is the size that makes economic sense. Per-gram cost drops about 12% versus the 1 g bottle, and you'll go through it before quality starts to fade. Storage guide →

How to use it

FAQ
How long will 2 grams last? A weekly home cook gets 3–5 months. A serious cook running rice + tea + occasional dessert burns through it in about 2 months.
Is 2 g enough for a holiday meal? Easily. A full paella for 8 uses about 0.4 g. A biryani for 6 uses 0.2–0.3 g. You'll have plenty left.
Does the bottle lose freshness once opened? Sealed bottle in a cool dry cabinet holds peak flavor for ~2 years even after opening, as long as you reseal it after each use. Don't refrigerate.

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.

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.
