Saffron is one of the world's most treasured and valuable spices, harvested from the delicate crimson threads of the Crocus sativus flower.

A little goes a very long way!

Description & Benefits

Saffron has been treasured for centuries for both its culinary uses and its naturally occurring plant compounds.

- Rich in antioxidants – Saffron contains naturally occurring compounds, including crocin, crocetin and safranal, which contribute to its characteristic colour and aroma and provide antioxidant activity.

- Mood & emotional wellness – Saffron has been researched for its potential role in supporting a positive mood and emotional wellbeing.

- Cognitive wellness – Its natural antioxidant compounds have also attracted research into saffron's potential role in supporting brain and cognitive health.

- Antioxidant support – Helps provide the body with plant-based antioxidant compounds that protect against oxidative stress.

- Beautiful in teas & warm drinks – Add a few threads to hot water, tea or warm milk for a luxurious saffron infusion.

- Culinary favourite – Traditionally used to add its distinctive flavour, aroma and beautiful golden colour to rice, curries, sauces, desserts, breads and other dishes.

- Naturally vibrant – Saffron is traditionally used as both a seasoning and natural colouring agent.

Saffron is known as “Red Gold” because harvesting the delicate threads is extremely labour intensive. Each thread comes from the stigma of the saffron crocus and is carefully collected and dried.
