Questions
Saffron questions, answered.
01What is Super Negin saffron?
Super Negin is the top grade of saffron: only the red stigma, cut above the pale yellow style, kept as long whole threads. Ours is picked before sunrise, dried the same day and hand-selected for deep crimson colour and a honeyed, floral aroma. 100% natural saffron, nothing added, guaranteed.
02Why is the harvest year printed?
Saffron is at its best when it is fresh, because colour and aroma fade slowly with time, light and air. We print the harvest year on every jar so you can see how fresh it is before you open it.
03How much saffron do I need?
A little goes a long way. About 20 threads, ground and bloomed in 3 tablespoons of hot water, colour 2 cups of rice for four people. For desserts and drinks, start with a pinch and add more until the colour is right. Our guide to how to use saffron has more.
04How should I store it?
Keep it sealed in its glass jar, away from light, heat and moisture, in a cool, dark cupboard. Close the lid straight after each use.
05Can I see it before buying?
Yes. Visit our boutique at Nation Towers Mall, Level 2, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. See the length of the thread and the depth of the red, and smell the aroma, before you buy. Online orders can be collected there for free.
