Very easy to use too much.
You don't want a pinch of this stuff for a fish. Just 1-2 sprigs. The scent, flavor, and colorant potency is very high. If grab a pinch of like 20 fibers, you will just overpower a dish, turn it orange as well as your fingers, and waste good saffron.This is something one uses just a touch of to set a hot dish off with an indescribable something. Not quite rice vinegar, not exactly honey, not all the way there to petrichor. Somewhere between all those things. Earthy for sure. But hard to pin down. I wouldn't say it makes a dish objectively better in flavor. It makes a dish more interesting. It pairs well with cumin, curry, paprika, mace, and coriander. I'd avoid pairing with nutmeg or cinnamon. Consider steeping and using the water as an option as apposed to just adding the raw herb. If you grind it, do so with a salt or sugar (other wise you'll just crush and smear it against you're mortar and pestle).

Little Arromatics, and the Same With Flavor
Quite disappointed in this saffron, even at the price. Rather weak in both aroma, the key issue, and flavor, although the strands are a nice dark red. - perhaps dyed? I had to use about three times the normal amount to get a remotely satisfactory effect. The expiration date was 12/2023, so that wasn't an issue, but the jar wasn't very tightly sealed so maybe that is where to problem lies. Or maybe just a poor bottle; like wine, there are no great wines, just great bottles! Buyer Beware. My search for a truly fine saffron continues.

Excellent saffron (28.3 grams/jar, pack of three)
This is the best saffron I have ever ordered and used. It has a fine quality, nice fragrance and good taste. I would recommend Redsaff Saffron Company to anyone who wants to buy a veritable and excellent saffron. I ordered this saffron recently and I have had a good experience with the product and friendly communication with the seller. Great company to buy from. I will return to order this saffron again. My compliments to the RedSaff company for marketing for such fresh, flavorful saffron. Thank you. C.A.

Best Saffron I have encountered!!!
I haven't cooked with it yet but MAN, this is the best smelling Saffron I have ever come across. Much better and much more then Penzy's. Can't wait to cook up something with it.I cooked with it now and all I can say is it is the best. First recipe I tried suggested heating it in oil then let the oil set over night then you can use it. I noticed doing it this way there was very little flavor or Yellow color to the oil so it didn't turn out like I expected.However the next time I heated it in water and WOW what a different. It turned the water a wonderful fragrant infusion!! I used it to cook some rice in and again WOW what wonderful flavored rice with that nice rich yellow color. I have purchased saffron before from a very popular spice store and it doesn't even come close to being as good or as much quantity in the jar. Some price but this jar had much more!Highly recommended!

Its OK, but nowhere close to the best as they claim.
Yes, this is better than the bargain brands but no where close to what they claim - the best. Smells good, color is bright and aroma is above average. I have been regularly using saffron for the last 25 years and always on the look out for the best quality. The best so far I have come across in the last 7 years is the coupe quality saffron sold by Costco online. That aroma and color will blow away this one. Costco also includes lab analysis report (done in NYC) with every packet and I never got anything less than 230. The threads of Costco brand are twice as big, look way more healthier, the aroma is far more intense, the color is about the same and the price is slightly better than this one. I tried this one out and I am done with it. While this saffron is a keeper but nowhere close to Costco brand.

The real saffron and not a colored fake one!!!!
This is truly the real saffron and not a colored fake one that i have seen before this saffron when placed in water gives off a deep yellow color and the flavor is very unique the taste has a hint of spice not overly strong but very noticeable. I have placed a few maybe 7-10 strings in rice while the water is boiling which when completed gives a savory and delicious taste and my grandkids love it. I have also placed a few of the strings same amount in boiling water for mashed potatoes and i will tell you Not that the water is such a deep hew yellow and when mashing the potatoes the out come is a beautiful and flavorful dish. I have even tried it when making gravy and even that is delicious and unique tasting. I have yet to try it as a tea but plan on doing so very soon. I will keep this Afgan Saffron in my cupboard for continue use. LOVE , LOVE , LOVE IT!!!!!!!

If someone like appreciate quality then this is your Saffron.
I am a private chef for almost 16 years and based on my experience I can tell this is one of the finest saffron I have used so far. I actually heard about the Afghan saffron and its superior quality amongst its rival producers like iran and spain on Shark tank and decided to give it a shot because I didnt even know Afghanistan is one of the producer of saffron specially the highest quality saffron and undoubtedly it is the premium quality.Also it came inside a beautiful red golden velvet pouch which can be a luxury gift for a friend and family on thanks giving day, Christmas or and other special occasions.

from someone who has used and knows saffron for more than 60 Years
I purchased this product along with a bottle of Mehr Saffron and I already had purchased some ground Saffron directly from sadaf which I see now that also Amazon sells.The Agghan zaffron I can tell from its aroma that it is pure and I give it not a 5 star but 10 stars.Sadaf which I normally use I believe it is pure too and give it 5 stars from amazon standard maximum 5 star.Mehr Saffron even when you open the bottle it lacks aroma. ( all that is Red can not be called Saffron). Perhaps from 5 grams contain 1/10 of a gram Saffron. It absolutely deserves no star. It is even embarassing to give it to someone as a gift. If it was not very costly to return it from dominican republic for refund, I would have not hesitate to do so to teach them that it is not right to sell Saflower in place of Saffron.
