Meet Saffron Bunch (Dokhtar Pich), the authentic, hand-picked saffron from Iran, sourced for your business. Each fully traceable bunch guarantees a rich aroma (safranal 28-50) and high coloring strength (crocin ≥ 140). Processed for maximum freshness, we supply this premium saffron in bulk quantities at competitive wholesale prices.
Saffron Bunch, known as ‘Dokhtar Pich’ in Persian, is saffron in its most natural and unprocessed form. Unlike other Types of Iranian saffron that aretrimmed for uniformity , a Saffron Bunch contains the entire saffron filament just as it was harvested.
Each bundle consists of the three deep-red stigmas attached to their yellow/white style at the base. This is exactly how saffron appears after being hand-picked from the Crocus sativus L. flower and carefully dried. Because it undergoes minimal separation or processing, it is considered the purest form of the spice. The presence of the complete thread—stigma and style together—is what gives Saffron Bunch its famously potent and complex aroma, a true representation of Iran’s “Red Gold.
Whether you are buying a small amount for your home kitchen or sourcing kilograms for your business, understanding how to identify quality is key to a good purchase. Here’s what to look for and why buying in bulk can be a strategic advantage.
When purchasing Saffron Bunch for personal use, start with your senses. Visually, look for bunches with vibrant, deep-red stigmas and a smaller portion of pale yellow style. The threads should appear dry and crisp. The aroma is the most telling characteristic—it should be strong, floral, and potent.
