Nojan Super Negin Saffron 1 Mesghal (4.6g)

Stigmas in this SKU are individually separated, thick, perfectly flat, and devoid of curled knots or crumbling. Stigma length consistently ranges between 2.0 and 2.5 cm with visible trumpet flare at the apex. Coloration is uniform deep crimson-ruby throughout, with zero presence of pale yellow styles or white basal stems, certifying 100% all-red stigma purity.

The baseline wholesale MOQ is 1 master box containing 25 blister cards (totaling 115g net pure saffron). For export consignments, 4 to 8 master boxes are consolidated into heavy-duty 5-ply outer export cartons (100 to 200 units, approx. 460g to 920g net), protected with thermal shrink wrap.

The optimal protocol involves gently grinding dry stigmas in a clean pestle without sugar, followed by thermal shock using crushed ice. Allowing the ice to melt slowly at room temperature, then adding a splash of hot water (around 80°C) with 10 minutes of gentle steeping unlocks peak crocin dissolution and intense aroma with double the yield.

Yes, partner farms operate under strict Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols. Pre-packaging assays employ Atomic Absorption Spectrometry to verify that heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury) sit far below European Union and WHO statutory ceilings. Furthermore, multi-residue pesticide screens using GC-MS confirm zero detection of organophosphates or hazardous agrochemicals.

While traditional Khatam tins offer ornate aesthetic heritage, they frequently lack airtight perimeter seals, permitting ambient moisture migration unless lined with foil. Nojan’s rigid blister card incorporates a hermetically induction-sealed film that completely arrests moisture exchange and safranal dissipation, while significantly reducing gross tare weight for airfreight savings.

Each unit carries the official Iran Food and Drug Administration Green Apple mark, the industrial health manufacturing license number, national ISIRI standard logo, Halal symbol, Lot Number, and bilingual (Persian/English) production and expiry dates. An international GS1 GTIN barcode is integrated for seamless retail POS scanning across global supermarket checkout systems.

When stored below 20°C in a dark, dry environment, annual crocin degradation is suppressed to under 3%. This exceptional stability stems from tight moisture control (<7.0%) and the airtight encapsulation chamber, which prevents photochemical decay and preserves antioxidant bioactives throughout the official 24-month lifespan.
