Hand-selected export-grade Super Negin saffron with long, thick, all-red filaments and crocin strength above 250 in a 5g crystal jar.
FAQ
Nojan Super Negin is culled exclusively from the longest and thickest stigmas of pre-dawn blooms. Clean mechanical separation from styles, gentle tension-controlled dehydration to eliminate curl, and intact trumpet-shaped crowns result in needle-straight crimson filaments with zero dust and crocin readings exceeding 250 units.
According to spectrophotometric testing per ISO 3632 and ISIRI 259, Nojan Super Negin records crocin readings between 250 and 275 absorbance units. This significantly exceeds the Category I export threshold of 200 units, representing the peak natural coloring capability achievable in botanical Crocus sativus.
Beyond unparalleled aroma and pigment release, Super Negin’s pristine needle-like aesthetic makes it the top choice for intact garnishing on caviar platters, gold-leaf pastries, luxury confectionery, and ceremonial diplomatic banquets. It is also traded as a prestigious commodity in international luxury gifting channels.
The minimum wholesale order is 20 crystal units (100 grams net weight of pure Super Negin). Consignments are packed in protective foam-lined shippers and delivered to nationwide freight hubs and air cargo customs within 24 to 48 business hours from the central Mashhad warehouse.
Nojan’s 5-gram crystal containers are engineered with calibrated internal depth and diameter, allowing long filaments to sit loosely without compaction. The rigid polystyrene shell absorbs physical impacts, while multilayer foam cushioning in shipping cartons neutralizes road and transit vibrations.
The optimal protocol involves progressive thermal shock: crush the stigmas gently in a glass mortar without sugar. Apply a cold shock with small ice cubes for 10 minutes, then introduce hot water at approximately 80°C to finalize pigment extraction, yielding a crystalline, luminous golden elixir with an untainted aroma.
The certified COA guarantees crocin color strength (minimum 250), picrocrocin bitterness (minimum 85), safranal aroma (35 to 50), total moisture (below 7.5%), acid-insoluble ash (below 0.8%), alongside chromatographic verification of zero synthetic color additives per ISIRI 259 and ISO 3632 Grade 1.
