Saffron is one of the highly prized spices known since antiquity for its color, flavor and medicinal properties and also can be used as a fabric dye. It is the dried stigma or threads of the flower of the Crocus sativus plant. It is a bulbous perennial plant that belongs to the family of Iridaceae, in the genus, Crocus, and known botanically as Crocus sativus.
Good saffron crop production demands cool dry climate with well-drained rich fertile soil and irrigation facilities or sufficient amount of rain fall. The flowers are generally harvested during the early-morning hours and soon their stigma separated, allowed to dry, and packed for marketing. Saffron has a distinct flavor that comes from chemical compounds in it such as picrocrocin, and safranal. It also contains a natural carotenoid chemical compound, crocin, which gives saffron its golden-yellow hue. These traits along with its medicinal properties make it a valuable ingredient in many cuisines worldwide.

at Opening the container I get the immediate smell of Saffron. I tested it for color in cold water. The color started a little slower than a competitor product. Primary Results: Seemed good in aroma.
If you are into cooking, NiceSaffron is the place for spices in many shapes and forms from all over the world, even some I've never heard of before.
5 Stars!! Me and my wife LOVED Nicesaffron.com so much!
Fresh, clean, aromatic, finely packaged, and perfect for culinary use. It is some of the freshest saffron I have ever used. I love soaking it in hot water to bring amazing color and flavor to some of my meals.
It is truly said that saffron has been manipulated and people creating fake saffron. Especially the saffron coming out of Spain, they say it is medicinal and this is far from the truth. I always have used this wonderful brand. The huge difference is when this plant grows, it grows on the Turquoise rock. It gets its healing powers from the rock. In Siddha medicine this is the only one we use. Americans are clueless about this herb. They keep on telling people buy Saffron from Spain. Do your homework and buy Only Medicinal Persian Saffron. Support the Iranian people and try this wonderful herb. It is great for cataracts and those with glaucoma.
I have tried several other brands and different regions saffron came from but so far the best quality of saffron I have got a hold off. I have ordered several times already and still loving it. I would add to regular subscription if it is available.
At you are getting excellent quality and super fresh ingredients
I use this Saffron almost everyday and it has plenty aroma and beautiful color that is specific to real saffron. I've been using saffron for many years and know a good quality saffron.
Love how their Persian/Iranian saffron is so fragrant and uplifting. Saffron is known for its mood-enhancing properties. Medical studies have c in rice puddings and Indian desserts, and this tastes just as good. Recommend it but wish the price was cheaper, so I could buy it more often.

Will return for my spice’s art NiceSafforn.com for Thanksgiving pies, dressing and spices for all the trimmings.
I have been using saffron in rice so many years, and had been buying them in middle eastern markets for about 40% less the price. when I purchased this item I realized the meaning of "premium" grade. The saffron threads in this Nicesaffron tin box are deep red with good smell .
Outstanding, this is a great product. Color and taste significantly better than store bought products. I have used this in making chicken dishes, rice and cookies and wow, what a wonderful difference... honey saffron chicken ,delish. The one thing you need to know when using for best flavor and color is that grinding it a bit is the best practice here. Highly recommended.
This is a very high quality saffron. It imparts lovely floral notes along with that beautiful golden hue. It is perfect for my Saffron & Lemon Infused Basmati Rice as well as my Oil-free Vegan Hollandaise, both of which rely on the best saffron to be their best. I have been buying this particular saffron since it was given to me as a gift over a year ago. I have also given it as a gift as high quality saffron is very hard to find in stores where usually only lackluster saffron is on the shelf.
I wanted to use saffron for my shrimp and lobster. This is the real deal. You should test saffron in water and see if the color runs. If the water remains clear, this is indicative of real saffron threads. This passed the test. I enjoy mentioning the peculiar history of saffron while serving it.
You will find good quality spices at NiceSaffron.com but also wonderful customer service.
I primarily use this when I cook rice in my pressure cooker. It grinds up very easily. I heat it up with a small amount of liquid and then blend it in with the chicken broth before the cooking process starts. It gives the rice such a delicious flavor. A little goes a long way so this should last for a decent amount of time. I highly recommend!
Very pleased with this saffron, which has a wonderful flavor, as well as the company who sells it. First of all Nice's communicated with me before and after my purchase to let me know when I would receive my product and then to be sure I was satisfied with it. The saffron itself has a great flavor. I used it for making saffron bread and really enjoyed it. Friends I shared the bread with also enjoyed the flavor of the saffron in it. I highly recommend this saffron and this company. Both were beyond my expectations.
Beautifully dried Saffron stigma that is so red, it makes me just want to take a mouthful and savor it. I use it sparingly in Asian dishes and then just horde it the rest of the time. I recently lost some Saffron that I had had for at least 15 years - I grow my own, too, but failed to properly dry the Saffron before adding it to my 15-year old stash so the WHOLE stash turned moldy and mildewy - and felt handicapped without it in the cupboard. This product is obviously cared for in the drying process and is packaged securely. Highly recommend. Saffron is expensive, no two ways about it, but this was definitely worth the investment.
Great Saffron, The product came on time for the next day delivery, It is well packaged, Overall quality looks good at first sight.
I bought Nice Saffron, First time using saffron and I enjoyed the rice I made with this. Flavor was great though and I have every reason to believe it's the real deal. Handy container can be reused when empty.
Their website NiceSaffron.com is easy to use, that is if you want to shop from the confines of your home.
