FAQ
The nuts are strictly calibrated to the large 24-26 ounce grade, representing one of the highest commercial length profiles for Ahmad Aghaei. The natural split ratio exceeds 98% purely on-tree opened, completely free of mechanically cracked shells or undersized blind pods, contractually guaranteed in trade agreements.
The double-roast method employs an initial moisture-reduction drying step followed by intensive indirect convective hot-air roasting to fully cure the interior kernel lipids. Concentrated, freshly brewed Ghaenat saffron extract is applied as a micro-atomized mist alongside pure saline during the secondary thermal cycle, ensuring deep golden tinting and rich saffron permeation without scorching.

Barjil utilizes advanced multi-spectrum color sorters and optical defect scanners to eliminate stained or damaged hulls, effectively removing the primary host vectors for Aspergillus flavus. Every export consignment is validated by certified third-party laboratory analysis reports, guaranteeing that Total Aflatoxin and B1 levels remain strictly below the most stringent European and international thresholds (below 4 ppb and 2 ppb respectively).
Thanks to intensive thermal processing and residual moisture below 2%, the product retains its crispness and aroma for 12 months in original vacuum packaging. Storage facilities should be cool (10-15°C), well-ventilated, and dry (relative humidity under 50%). Because authentic saffron pigments are light-sensitive, shaded storage is essential to prevent photochemical fading of the golden color.
