Premium export-grade Negin saffron with long, unbroken crimson filaments and exceptional coloring strength in protective pouch packaging.
FAQ
Negin saffron consists of coarse, completely red stigmas dried flat without curvature, entirely devoid of yellow or white style segments. Unlike Sargol which often contains fractured filaments, or Pushal which retains attached styles, Negin yields highest visual purity and crocin concentration.
Sarij's metallized barrier pouch features aluminum-laminated films with ultra-low oxygen (OTR) and water vapor transmission rates (WVTR). This opaque structure completely blocks UV and ambient light, preventing photo-degradation of crocin pigments and loss of aroma.
The wholesale minimum order quantity is 100 pouches. Pouches are packed into intermediate display boxes and consolidated into reinforced 5-ply export master cartons containing 12 to 24 display inners. Cartons are palletized, shrink-wrapped, and strapped for secure international freight.
Spectrophotometric analysis compliant with ISO 3632 confirms that the coloring strength (crocin) consistently scores between 240 and 260+ units. This substantially exceeds the baseline national standard threshold of 220, proving optimal harvest timing and meticulous post-harvest dehydration.
Finely grind the dry stigmas without adding sugar, place small ice cubes directly onto the powder, and allow them to melt at ambient temperature. This cold-shock extraction maximizes crocin yield. Subsequently, adding a small measure of hot water and steeping over indirect heat for 10 minutes unlocks intense safranal aromatics.
Yes, each consignment is screened for microbial purity, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and aflatoxins before receiving an official Phytosanitary Certificate from the national plant protection organization. Full compliance files and COAs accompany every export shipment for seamless destination border clearance.
