Cyrus Saffron - 5g 100% Saffron Threads (Stigma Only) - Spanish-Grown, Organic, Lab-Tested

Experience saffron as a carefully cultivated, artisanal spice. Cyrus Saffron Gourmet offers 5 g of pure saffron threads harvested by hand, then packaged in the USA. The saffron is organically grown and selected to preserve the delicate red stigmas that color and perfume many beloved dishes.

How saffron is produced

From field to kitchen, the process emphasizes selective picking and gentle handling. About 150 saffron flowers yield 1 gram; a far larger harvest—roughly 225,000 blooms—can yield about a pound of saffron. The stigma itself is kept intact, ensuring the threads retain their distinctive shape and color as you prepare your recipes.

Quality and testing you can trust

• LAB TESTED: third-party results show Safranal (aroma), Crocin (color), and Picocrocin (flavor) levels.
• ISO 3632 standard with a color reading of 267+ for consistent quality.
• 100% pure saffron stigmas only; no fillers or artificial additives.
• Packaged in the USA with a money-back guarantee for satisfaction.

Usage ideas and inspiration

Fine threads release their color gradually when infused in warm liquid. For best results, infuse 1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads in warm water for about 10 minutes, then stir into rice, risottos, stews, seafood, or bouillabaisse to add a warm, golden hue and a fragrant note.

• One gram often serves 4–6 people, depending on the dish.
• Always aim to keep the threads shaped like a trumpet and avoid letting color fade to white.
