WHAT IS SAFFRON
Saffron is the red stigma of the crocus sativus flower that, when harvested and dried, is used as a culinary spice and coloring agent, and as an herbal supplement and remedy. Saffron is harvested by hand due to its delicate nature.
WHY IS NEGIN SAFFRON SO FLAVOURFUL
Sargol, Negin, Pushal indicate the trim of the Saffron stigma. Each crocus sativus flower has 3 Saffron stigmas, all 3 of which are connected to one yellow root, known as a “style”. The style is considered by some to be dead weight, because it provides no culinary, coloring, or nutritional value. Removal of the style is labor-intensive, thus driving the price of the resulting Saffron upwards. The trade-off is: higher potency, higher cost; lower potency, lower cost. The debate is a subjective matter, as while the style has no practical use, it also doesn’t have any negative effects
PERSIAN, SPANISH, KASHMIRI. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
The origin of Saffron can affect its flavor and other characteristics. Cultural norms also factor into these differences; for example, Spanish Saffron typically includes the style, while Persian Saffron emphasizes trim in relation to potency.
