Approximately 5,000 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.

How long 10 g lasts a foodservice operation

A restaurant running 30 paellas/week burns ~6–9 g/week — so a 20 g bottle lasts about 8–10 days at that volume. A café running one signature saffron drink uses 5–15 g/month — a 20 g bottle is roughly a 3-week supply. Bakeries vary widely; most settle around 10–25 g/month per saffron item.
