Our saffron
Super Negin, Negin and Pushal are trade names for how the red stigma is trimmed and sorted. They describe the look of the thread, not its strength.
The grades · Choosing a grade · What a laboratory measures
The three types
The longest, thickest all-red threads, trimmed cleanly and separated one by one, with none of the pale yellow style left on. Usually chosen for gift packs, display and dishes where the threads are seen.
SUPER NEGIN — the most selective cut
NEGIN — long trimmed threads
Long all-red threads with the yellow style removed, slightly less uniform than Super Negin. A common choice for restaurants and retail jars.
Pushal, and choosing a type
Red threads with a small part of the yellow style left on, so not every part is red. Practical for everyday cooking, rice and sweets, where the saffron is steeped.
PUSHAL — red threads with some yellow style
Choosing a grade
If the threads will be seen, choose Super Negin or Negin. If the saffron is steeped into rice, sweets or drinks, Pushal can be a practical choice. Strength varies by lot, so ask for a sample to compare.
Cut is not the same as quality
A well-cut thread can still be weak if it is old or poorly dried. The international standard ISO 3632 sets laboratory tests for colour strength (crocin), bitterness (picrocrocin) and aroma (safranal), as well as moisture and foreign matter.
What a laboratory measures
What we will publish
We will describe a lot by an ISO 3632 category only after it has been tested, and share results only for lots that have them. Pack sizes and prices are published once they are confirmed.
