- Where is your saffron sourced from? (Frequently Asked Question)

Our saffron is grown in Herat, Afghanistan, celebrated for premium quality saffron. We work closely with Heray Spice, a social enterprise supporting small family farms directly.

These documents verify saffron’s purity, color strength, aroma, and safety.
