MOONFLOWERS OFFERS THE BEST QUALITY SAFFRON TYPE Moonflowers offers the best saffron type, 'super-negin'. Negin means diamond in Farsi, this is why the most premium grade of saffron is called the super-negin. The main rule is that the best saffron quality is the one high in crocin (color), picrocrocin (taste), and saffranal (aroma). The super-negin variant has the highest concentration of these three elements. Its a long stemmed, deep red stigma and does not contain orange or yellow threads and does not have crumbs. MOONFLOWERS SAFFRON IS SOURCED FROM SMALL FAMILY-OWNED FARMS Our premium-grade saffron is sourced from small family-owned farms in Herat, Afghanistan. Their practice from planting the corms to harvesting is done with a lot of care, to ensure premium quality saffron stigmas. Our premium-grade saffron is produced organically, without the use of genetically modified corms, synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. ABOUT SAFFRON Saffron spice is unique because of its delicate flavor and vibrant golden color adding a unique taste to any recipe. Each saffron flower contains only three stigmas which can only be harvested by hand. Each stigma is then separated by hand from the saffron flower and dried. This labor intensive process is why the saffron spice is one of the most expensive and sought after spice in the world.
