Saffron, the world's most expensive, elusive and sexy spice. This variety is grown, harvested and dried in western Afghanistan, which was once part of Persia. It is Grade 1, Negin Cut saffron which is prized for its thick threads and dark red color. You can't make paella without it!
Details: Saffron threads from Persia come from organic, non-GMO crocus flowers and are gluten-free.
