Grade 1 Saffron Powder is a ready-to-use form of Iranian saffron that can be measured and added to recipes without grinding whole threads beforehand. Its powdered form allows it to be mixed into infusions and distributed consistently through foods and beverages.
According to the product datasheet, the tested crocin value is 220–270, while the safranal result is 28–50 and the picrocrocin result is 65–100. Its tested moisture and volatile matter content is 6.29%. These figures provide measurable information about the powder’s colouring strength, aroma, taste characteristics and moisture level. The laboratory report also records no detectable extraneous matter, no detectable foreign plant matter and a negative result for added artificial colour.
The product is packed in a food-grade polystyrene container placed inside a cardboard box. This format keeps the powder contained until use and is suitable for home cooking, professional kitchens and recipe preparation. It can be used in rice dishes, soups, teas, desserts, cakes, sauces and other recipes where saffron needs to be distributed evenly.
The datasheet identifies the product as Grade 1 saffron powder but does not specify whether the source material was Sargol, Negin, Pushal or another thread type. Readers who want to understand how these classifications differ can consult our guide to the Types of Iranian Saffron. When comparing products described as the best saffron in the world, the intended use and batch-level laboratory results should be considered alongside the saffron’s origin and form.
