Begin Your Saffron Journey

The Saffron Starter Kit is the easiest way to try premium Afghan saffron. Each kit pairs our two starter sizes — 1 g for tasting and 2 g for everyday cooking — at a bundle price that saves you $6 vs. buying separately.

What's Inside

  • 1 g Bottle of Premium Afghan Super Negin Saffron — Hand-harvested all-red threads, ISO 3632 Category I (color strength >240, picrocrocin >70, safranal >20). Roughly 15–20 servings.
  • 2 g Bottle of Premium Afghan Super Negin Saffron — Same grade and harvest, larger format for regular cooks. Roughly 30–40 servings.
  • Printed Brewing & Cooking Guide — Step-by-step ratios for saffron tea, rice, desserts, and infusions, included in the kit.
Why a Starter Kit?

Most first-time saffron buyers want to taste before committing to larger bottles. The 1 g bottle gives you 4–6 weeks of weekly use, and the 2 g bottle covers a household for 6–8 weeks. Together, they bridge tasting and everyday cooking at the lowest entry price we offer — and let you decide whether to step up to our 3 g, 5 g, or 10 g sizes later.

Origin & Quality

All threads in this kit are grown in the Herat region of western Afghanistan and hand-harvested in November of the most recent crop year. Each batch is lab-tested for crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal levels before being sealed in food-grade crystal-clear bottles.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Properly stored, your saffron will retain peak potency for 2 years from harvest.

Net Weight & Ingredients

Net weight: 3 grams total (1 g bottle + 2 g bottle). Ingredient: 100% pure Afghan saffron threads (Crocus sativus L. stigmas). No additives, no fillers, no artificial coloring.

Hand-packed and distributed by Raihan Saffron, 24 Bassett St, Lynn, MA 01902, USA. Phone: 857-313-9458.

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.

    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.
