Details
Premium Afghan saffron threads — a sealed 10 g bottle for restaurants, cafés, tea shops, and high-use kitchens. Approximately 2,500 long, all-red threads of ISO 3632 Category I saffron 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.
This is the lowest per-gram retail price we sell. For larger volumes — 50 g, 100 g, 500 g+ — see wholesale pricing. Most restaurant programs settle into a recurring monthly order at this size or higher. Saffron for restaurants →

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

FAQ
How much saffron do I use?
For most dishes, 10 to 15 threads is enough. Bloom in warm water or milk for 5 to 10 minutes before using.
How long will one bottle last?
For typical home cooking, 1 gram lasts most households several weeks. Heavy or daily users may go through it faster.
Is this saffron threads or powder?
Whole threads. We do not sell powdered saffron because powder is the easiest place for substitutes to hide.
Do you ship across the U.S.?
Yes. We ship across the United States with tracked delivery. Standard shipping is $8 flat, and orders over $49 ship free.
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.
