Grade AA (Super Negin) saffron features longer, all-red threads with no yellow or white parts, offering the highest concentration of color, aroma, and flavor. AR1 grade saffron contains premium all-red filaments that are slightly shorter but still deliver exceptional quality. Both grades are ISO certified and perfect for cooking, with Grade AA being our premium choice for gifting and special occasions. Novin Saffron sources both grades directly from Iran's finest saffron farms, ensuring authenticity and purity in every package delivered across Dubai and the UAE.

Store your Persian saffron in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to preserve its potency for up to 2-3 years. Keep it in a cool, dark place like a kitchen cupboard or pantry—never in the refrigerator, as humidity can damage the delicate threads. Novin Saffron's premium packaging is designed to protect your saffron from light and air. For best results, avoid opening the container frequently and always use dry utensils when handling saffron threads. Proper storage ensures you enjoy the full aroma, color, and health benefits of authentic Iranian saffron.

For most recipes, use 10-15 saffron threads (approximately 0.1-0.2 grams) per serving for optimal flavor and color. For rice dishes like biryani or kabsa, add 20-30 threads for 4-6 servings. For desserts and beverages, 5-10 threads are sufficient. Always steep saffron in warm water, milk, or broth for 10-15 minutes before adding to your dish to release its full color and aroma. A little goes a long way—Novin Saffron's premium Grade AA quality means you need less saffron compared to lower grades. Our convenient sachet options (125mg each) make measuring easy for everyday cooking in Dubai kitchens.
