Mina Sahar Saffron, Ethically Sourced Premium Afghan Saffron Threads (Super Negin) Highest Rated World-wide, For all Culinary, Medicinal and Beauty Uses (1.00)

I really liked the speed of delivery. The saffron itself is a deep red color it smells heavenly. I would definitely choose them again.

Receiving this was such a pleasure. I ordered a full ounce, and what arrived was the biggest quantity of saffron I've ever seen -- and I measured it and it was just over an ounce -- and at a great price. It's a beautiful deep color, the smell is wonderful, and it made for a perfect risotto Milanese. I look forward to many more risottos, and other rice dishes, and a saffron sponge cake I saw the recipe for. I'll be buying all my saffron from this vendor from now on.

This is as good if not better then what my grandmother brings from Iran when she visits.I usually buy small quantity first before getting more for the restaurant. The quality is 5 stars and it’s consistent.

The product was shipped very quickly. The product itself completely blew my expectations out of the water, the flavor and aroma was simply bliss. Along with the hand written note absolutely made my day.

As soon as you open the package....you know! The aroma is magical and the contribution a pinch of these threads adds to rice, to chai, to baked goods confirms the initial impression. Best saffron ever!!!

For over 4,000 years, every single strand of saffron that has ever existed on this planet began with the gesture of one person’s hand; delicately, individually picking red pistils from purple crocuses.That alone is a mind blowing reason to cherish this ancient spice, not to mention its elaborate history, its uses and benefits, its beauty and unique flavor, and most importantly here with Mina Sahar, the support one gives to a small business driven predominantly by hard-working women in Afghanistan.There are other competing firms on the market, but this is arguably the best, in terms of quality and integrity.I have fallen in love with the spice thanks to this brand, and now use it more often than ever before. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

After reading the medical benefits about the uses of saffron—eg as effective as Pharmaceuticals for ADD/ADHD (well tolerated by teens—according to the medical literature) and depression, and more effective than existing prescription meds for fighting dementia—I learned of Mina Sahar Saffron from a friend. And boy does it deliver!It’s the highest quality of saffron, ethically sourced, empowering women in the ancient spice trade.Daily, I add 15-20 threads (circa 25 mg of active ingredients) to my morning coffee for medicinal purposes. Or as a boost to a chai latte.My cooking is benefiting tremendously—it’s divine in my red sauce for lasagnes and pasta. Saffron rice, stews, soups, risotto, pasta sauce, lattes, curry, …This year, I had so much fun gifting saffron to friends and neighbors. Ordering the oz makes for a wonderful abundance. I thought it would last the year, but it may not because I’ve got a quarter of it left and it’s only April. At $150 am ounce, which is $5 a gram, it’s an amazing offer. And given the medicinal properties, well worth 1000x its weight in gold.Photos:1) A steeping boost of medicinal dose of saffron ready for a morning latte2) the back of a note that I placed in a friend’s mail box with a gift of saffron, describing medicinal benefits backed by peer reviewed medical science that I read on pubmed.org
