Nojan Saffron Root (Style / Konj) 0.5 Mesghal (2.3 g)

Saffron Root (botanically the style) is the pale yellow-to-white lower stem of the saffron flower that supports the three-pronged red stigmas. While Sargol is prized for its high concentration of red crocin pigment, the root contains negligible red color but is densely packed with volatile safranal (the aroma compound) and natural minerals.

Saffron root is exceptionally cost-effective, typically priced at a fraction (20% to 25%) of premium Sargol. It is widely utilized in aromatic syrups, pastries, puddings, poultry marinades, and everyday herbal infusions where authentic saffron fragrance is desired without deep crimson staining.

Traditional herbal medicine recognizes saffron root as a gentle heart tonic and neural soother due to its milder warm nature. Brewed as an evening infusion alongside chamomile or borage, saffron root aids in alleviating nervous tension, combatting mild insomnia, and restoring psychological balance.

It is recommended to gently crush the saffron root strands in a small mortar prior to brewing. Place the grounds in a teapot and infuse with boiling water over low, indirect steam for 15 to 20 minutes. Because the style is slightly more fibrous than the stigma, a longer steeping time ensures complete extraction of volatile aromatics.

The minimum wholesale order is 20 half-mesghal crystal jars. For herbal apothecaries and wholesalers, master cartons are packed in lots of 50 to 100 units, dispatched nationwide within 24 to 48 business hours from the central logistics hub in Mashhad.

Nojan saffron root undergoes mechanical sifting to remove field dust and botanical debris before entering precision industrial dehydrators to stabilize residual moisture below 9%. Laboratory screenings confirm zero synthetic dyes, heavy metals, or abnormal microbial counts per ISIRI 259.

The product carries a certified shelf life of 24 months from packaging. The rigid food-grade polystyrene container with its snug-fitting seal effectively blocks insect intrusion, atmospheric dust, and ambient humidity, preserving volatile aromatics throughout storage.
