Grades-and-Types-of-Saffron-1

Type of the Saffron

Sargol

The only characteristic of this type is the redness of its stigma. Style (white part of saffron) is removed and all red saffron is produced(Cut filament saffron). This type of saffron is completely pure and is with the cute tissue of saffron without style.

Negin

When compared to Sargol and Super Negin, Negin is longer in length and contains some yellow and orange portions of the thread. To put it in simple words, the aroma, quality, and purity are still great but you do pay for some portions of the yellow and orange threads, which are lower quality.

Pushal

saffron is the cheapest and most commonly sold Saffron trim in stores. Since Saffron is so expensive, many distributors take advantage of consumers by selling them the orange and yellow portions of the thread to increase their profit margins.

Konj

The white part attached to the end of the Sargol is called the saffron root or white saffron. The color of these strands is light yellowish-white. Saffron root is also famous for Konj saffron.

Bunch

“Dasteh” or “Dokhtar-Pich” is the main strand of Iranian saffron. When the farmer picks the strands of the saffron from the petals, he dries them and puts them together. The top part of these strands is red and the bottom part is orange.
