Negin Saffron (Sargol)
Negin or Sargol saffron is often touted as the epitome of “pure” saffron and remains our top-selling grade.
Our Negin saffron stands as a pinnacle of quality, closely trailing only Super Negin in excellence. Crafted exclusively from intact red stigmas, each painstakingly separated by hand during harvesting. Any traces of the white or yellow component, known as Khame, are meticulously removed, ensuring unparalleled purity.

Pushal Saffron
Our premium Pushal saffron represents the top tier among Pushal grades, of which there are three in total. We exclusively offer Pushal saffron of this superior grade, foregoing any lower-grade options.
Pushal saffron is predominantly composed of red stigma, with minor traces of white or yellow components present at the tips, typically measuring between 1-3mm. The attachment of the red portion to the white or yellow style makes it challenging to counterfeit this type of saffron. However, the presence of the white or yellow component at the thread’s end impacts the saffron’s color potency and plays a pivotal role in its overall quality assessment.
