Kermani Bulk Saffron Branch Rock Candy (Nabat Shakheh)

Wood stick Nabat is geared towards single-serve stirrers in cafes, whereas Branch Nabat features large chunky clusters crystallized on string, primarily used for whole-pot tea brewing, bulk weighing, and ethnic souvenir packaging.

The thread consists of 100% natural, chlorine-free bleached cotton with zero synthetic fibers or free lint. It holds certified food-contact compliance at elevated crystallization temperatures.

Following drying from the crystallizing tanks, branches pass over vibrating mesh sorting tables. Fine sugar shards and loose crystals are separated to ensure only intact, cohesive branches are boxed.

Cartons are constructed from heavy-duty 5-ply Kraft board with reinforced fluting. Compression forces are absorbed entirely by the structural box walls rather than resting upon the rock candy itself.

Target residual moisture is kept tightly between 0.5% and 0.8%. This extremely low water activity prevents microbial/osmophilic yeast spoilage and ensures physical lattice stability for 24 months.

Yes, each export production lot is accompanied by a certified COA confirming sucrose purity (minimum 99.7%), ICUMSA color rating, sulfated ash index, and complete microbiological clearances.

Because authentic natural crystallization requires a 4-to-6 day curing cycle per vat, contracts exceeding 10 metric tons during peak cold seasons necessitate booking 10 to 14 business days in advance.
