Sargol Saffron Threads – Glass Jar Pack

Premium Sargol Saffron consists of selected red stigma portions of Crocus sativus L., with the lighter yellow and white style removed. Its all-red composition and comparatively short filaments make it suitable for applications where colouring strength, aroma and flavour are more important than exceptionally long decorative threads.

Laboratory testing recorded a crocin range of 235–260, indicating strong colouring performance. Safranal was measured at 28–50, while the picrocrocin range of 65–100 relates to the product’s characteristic saffron flavour. Moisture and volatile matter were measured at 6.85%, and no artificial colour was detected.

This product can be used in rice dishes, paella, soups, sauces, teas, desserts, cakes, confectionery and other saffron-based preparations. Because Sargol threads may be shorter than Negin and Super Negin, they are particularly practical when the saffron will be crushed, infused or incorporated into other ingredients before serving.

The saffron is supplied in a glass jar with a cork lid, placed inside a cardboard box. The glass container allows the threads to remain visible, while the cork lid and outer box provide a practical presentation for storage and display. Keep the jar securely closed and protected from direct light after opening.
