These hand-harvested Crocus sativus stigmas represent the highest grade of premium saffron, characterized by deep red threads and a high safranal content. By focusing on pure "Red Gold" stigmas without the yellow style, this material ensures a concentrated aroma and vibrant natural coloring for both gourmet culinary applications and precise botanical research.
The high crocin and picrocrocin levels in these threads provide a distinct, potent flavor profile and powerful antioxidant properties. Unlike mass-produced saffron that often contains moisture or floral waste, these stigmas are dried to a specific standard to maintain shelf stability and chemical integrity. This makes them a reliable raw material for those who require consistent results in extraction or high-end food preparation.
Each batch undergoes careful selection to ensure that only the most active parts of the flower are included, maximizing the value of every gram. This premium saffron offers a chemical profile suited for traditional wellness practices and modern laboratory analysis alike.
