How you know it's real Negin
Negin ("gemstone") is the highest grade of saffron. Here's what that means — and how to test it yourself.
- Only the darkest red tip. All-red stigma tips, hand-separated — no yellow style, no filler, so each thread gives the most colour, aroma and flavour.
- Herat-direct through our family network. Afghan saffron has won international taste awards.
- Test it yourself. Real Negin threads are trumpet-shaped and release colour slowly in cold water — fake saffron bleeds instantly. A purity card comes with every order.
A pinch — 10–15 threads — flavours a full pot of rice or a family qorma. The 1g tin covers roughly 20 dishes; the 4.6g tin is one traditional mesghal.
