Our Spanish saffron powder is Category 1 and SOIVRE certified by Spanish authorities. This confirms that the saffron was harvested using the highest standards, and processed without dyes or artificial ingredients.

Use our powdered saffron as a substitute for saffron threads in all recipes.

Why is saffron so expensive? Some people compare saffron to gold, and for good reason. The harvesting of saffron is very labor intensive. Each crocus flower produces only three stigmas and has to be hand picked. It takes thousands of them to produce one ounce of saffron.

Using Saffron Powder: When cooking with powdered saffron, a little goes a long way as the unique flavor can easily overpower a dish. Start with only a pinch of the spice.
