Sargol Saffron Threads – Envelope Box

Esfedan Premium Sargol Saffron is made from the separated red stigma tips of Crocus sativus L. The lighter style portion is removed during processing, leaving shorter, all-red cut filaments with the appearance associated with Sargol. To compare Sargol with Negin, Super Negin, Pushal and Bunch, read our guide to the Types of Iranian Saffron.

With a minimum crocin value of 230, a safranal range of 28–50 and a maximum moisture content of 10%, this product provides strong coloring performance, a rich natural aroma and a distinctive saffron flavor. These measurable characteristics provide more useful information about its performance than appearance alone.

The product remains in the form of visible saffron threads rather than ground powder. The filaments can therefore be inspected before preparation and gently crushed immediately before infusion. This helps release their natural color, aroma and flavor more evenly.

Each portion is placed in a clear plastic pouch inside a cardboard envelope box. This compact format is suitable for home cooking, restaurants, foodservice applications and retail distribution. Customers can buy saffron online or explore the main Sargol saffron category for other commercial options.
