What Determines the Saffron Price in Saudi Arabia?
Grade, order quantity and packaging affect the price of saffron in Saudi Arabia. For whole threads, length and appearance matter. Selecting the long, intact red threads used for Super Negin requires additional sorting, so this grade can cost more than Sargol.
Packaging makes a difference even when the grade and weight are identical. For example, a restaurant ordering 100 g in a single pack may pay a different price per gram from a retailer ordering the same quantity in ten sealed packs. Our saffron price guide explains how grade, format and order size affect the price.
Why Is Saffron So Expensive?
Saffron is expensive because each flower produces only three red stigmas. Growers plant and tend the crop, pick the flowers by hand, separate the delicate stigmas and dry them. All that work yields only a small amount of dried saffron, which keeps the saffron spice price high.

Where Can I Buy the Best Saffron in Saudi Arabia?
You can buy saffron directly from Esfedan or visit a local spice shop. The best saffron depends on how you plan to use it. For a gift, Super Negin is a good choice if you want long, intact red threads. For Saudi coffee or kabsa, compare Sargol and Negin by aroma, colouring strength and price per gram. Our guide to the types of Iranian saffron shows how the threads differ.
Price range: €0.92 through €6.32
Price range: €1.09 through €5.60
What Should I Look for in High-Quality, Pure or Organic Saffron?
For pure saffron, check that saffron is the only ingredient and that the pack states its origin and net weight. If a jar of zafran is labelled “original saffron,” check which grade it contains before paying a premium. When comparing the kesar saffron price across jars and sachets, use the net weight to compare the price per gram.
For organic saffron, ask for an organic certificate that covers the product you intend to buy. If you are ordering ground jafran, ask for a quality report for the batch. This gives you more information about the product when you cannot inspect the threads to judge whether you are buying real saffron.
How Can I Buy Saffron in KSA from Esfedan?

What Saudi Dishes Can You Make with Saffron?
Use saffron in chicken or lamb kabsa, Saudi coffee and desserts such as kunafa. Add it to the rice, coffee pot or syrup depending on the dish.
- Chicken or lamb kabsa. Steep a few threads in warm water. Near the end of cooking, spoon the infusion over part of the rice for golden streaks and a delicate saffron aroma.
- Saudi coffee (qahwa). Place a few saffron threads and some cardamom in the serving pot, then pour the hot coffee over them.
- Kunafa. Stir a little saffron-infused water into the syrup before pouring it over the warm pastry.
