THE NATURE OF SAFFRON
Saffron comes from the red stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. Each flower produces three stigmas, which are carefully collected and dried to create the threads used in cooking.
The delicate harvesting process and small yield help explain why saffron is such a valued spice. Whole threads allow you to see the ingredient you are adding to your recipes and adjust the amount to suit your taste.
COOKING WITH SAFFRON
Saffron adds a distinctive aroma and flavor along with a warm golden color. A small amount can complement rice, soups, sauces, baked goods, and desserts. You can also enjoy saffron in brewed tea, golden milk, and other drinks.
For many recipes, begin by steeping a small pinch of threads in a little warm water, milk, or broth. Add the infused liquid and threads to your dish according to the recipe. This helps distribute the saffron’s color and flavor.
Keep saffron tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Close the container after each use to help preserve its aroma and flavor.

OUR SUPER NEGIN SAFFRON
Saffron is sold in several commercial grades that differ in thread appearance and trimming. Hoyer Family Saffron offers Super Negin threads selected for their long red strands and minimal yellow portions.
Three compounds are commonly associated with saffron’s culinary qualities: crocin contributes to color, picrocrocin contributes to taste, and safranal contributes to aroma. Laboratory testing using ISO 3632 methods helps evaluate saffron quality.
