Instant Saffron Granule | 3g

Product Description

Instant Saffron Grade 1 is a ready-to-use saffron extract in granule form, developed to make saffron preparation faster and more convenient. The granules dissolve quickly in hot or cold liquids without leaving residue and can be added directly to foods and beverages.

The product is manufactured using microencapsulation and freeze-drying technology. According to the product data sheet, this process is designed to preserve saffron’s key bioactive compounds, including crocin, safranal, and picrocrocin, while providing a stable and easy-to-use format.

Each pack contains 3 g of instant saffron granules divided into 10 individual 300 mg sachets. This format allows the product to be stored, handled, and portioned conveniently for different food and beverage applications.

Ingredients

Saffron extract (Crocus sativus L. stigma) and Maltodextrin (carrier).
