Ministry of Commerce

Iranian saffron is recognized all over the world and exported to all parts of the world. Iran's classification of saffron has been accepted and adopted by other countries. Iranian saffron can generally be divided into five different grades: Super, first, second, third, and Huanggen.

Iranian super saffron

Super class

Super saffron is sometimes called Niejin saffron in China. Super saffron is characterized by long filaments, full red without yellow roots, intact filaments, and dry without impurities. Super saffron can basically be regarded as the best quality of saffron, sometimes in order to highlight the superiority of this quality, it will also be called the best saffron or top saffron.

Iranian first-class saffron

First level

The first-class saffron is worse than the special-grade saffron, and the first-class saffron is also known as all-red saffron (All Red Saffron). It is characterized by short filaments and more broken powder. although they are all-red filaments without yellow roots, the filaments are incomplete and broken more.

Iranian secondary saffron

Second level

The biggest feature of secondary saffron is that the filament is not all red, and there are some yellow heads on the tail. The dark red filaments are mixed with a lot of yellow heads, but their appearance is much worse.

Iranian third-grade saffron

Three levels

In China, it is called third-grade saffron, because it has long yellow roots and is tied into a handful, so it is customary to call it third-level saffron. This kind of saffron is more common in the domestic tourism market.

Iranian yellow root saffron

Yellow root

The yellow root basically does not contain the active ingredient, therefore the yellow root basically has no medicine effect, usually uses as the scrap. The yellow root of this kind of saffron looks and feels like a corn beard. There is generally no yellow root saffron on the market, so we can only order it in bulk from the Iranian saffron company.

The above are the different levels of Iranian saffron division and differences, but from the yellow root, filament integrity and other simple differences, in the actual purchase, we also need to pay attention to the freshness of saffron. The freshness can be judged simply by color. The freshly picked saffron is bright red without drying, and the color is dark red after drying. If the storage time is too long, the color of the filament will turn black. Fresh saffron is better than old one, so don't buy black saffron.
