Instant Saffron Extract Granules | Paperboard Canister

Grade 1 Instant Saffron Extract Granules provide a dry, ready-to-use alternative to traditional saffron preparation. The granules dissolve rapidly in hot or cold liquids, allowing saffron colour, aroma and flavour to be incorporated into foods and beverages without grinding the product or preparing a separate infusion.

The product is manufactured using microencapsulation and freeze-drying technology. This process creates a stable granulated format and helps preserve the characteristic saffron compounds crocin, safranal and picrocrocin. Quality testing recorded a crocin value of 37.00, a safranal value of 11.00 and a picrocrocin value of 21.00. Moisture content was measured at 4.13%, dry extract at 94.50%, and no synthetic dyes were detected.

Instant saffron granules can be added to tea, milk, coffee-based beverages, smoothies, rice dishes, soups, sauces, desserts, ice cream, confectionery, cakes and bakery products. Their rapid solubility also makes them practical for professional kitchens and food-production environments requiring a consistent and convenient saffron format.

This extracted product differs from traditional saffron threads, which normally require crushing and infusion before use. To compare traditional classifications such as Super Negin, Negin, Sargol, Pushal and Bunch, read our guide to the Types of Iranian Saffron.

Saffron’s intensive cultivation, manual harvesting and limited usable yield contribute to its high market value. These factors are explained in our guide to the Expensive Spices in the World.

Customers can buy saffron in different traditional and instant formats through Esfedan. Current market factors and product comparisons are available in our saffron price guide.
