Saffron Ingredients, Quality & How to Use

What’s Inside

LAVIAAN saffron contains one ingredient: 100% pure saffron from the red stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower.

Our saffron contains no artificial colors, added flavors, preservatives, fillers, or blended ingredients.

Origin and Quality

Our saffron is sourced from Herat, Afghanistan, through relationships with small family farms. Every batch is independently evaluated for quality and tested according to ISO 3632 standards.

LAVIAAN saffron is:

• ISO 3632 Category I
• Made from all-red saffron stigmas
• Independently tested
• Origin documented
• Free from artificial coloring and fillers

How to Use Saffron Threads

Add 8–12 threads to warm water, milk, tea, or another beverage. Allow the threads to steep for 5–10 minutes as the liquid gradually develops its golden color, aroma, and flavor.

For cooking, gently crush and bloom the threads in a small amount of warm water, milk, or broth before adding them to rice, sauces, desserts, soups, or baked goods.

How to Use Saffron Powder

Add a small pinch of saffron powder directly to tea, warm milk, coffee, oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, rice, or recipes. Because it is already ground, saffron powder releases its color and aroma more quickly than whole threads.

Storage

Keep saffron tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
