Finely grind saffron threads just before use. For food, mix with a little lukewarm water; for desserts and ice cream, prepare over ice. Stir thoroughly for about 20 seconds, then leave for 2–3 minutes. For warm drinks, steep with the other ingredients for at least 10 minutes. For tea blends, follow the product-specific preparation instructions.

Afghan saffron from Herat, packed in Germany
During the short harvest season, the flowers are picked by hand. Their red stigmas are carefully separated, dried and selected. Every small pack represents many individual steps.
Saffrona sources saffron directly from family farms in Herat. Origin, batch information and laboratory testing make this small ingredient traceable. Discover the people behind it in our story.
How to use your saffron 0.5 g pack
Start with a little
Measure a small amount according to your recipe. Saffron is intense: start cautiously and adjust the amount next time you cook.
Allow 10–20 minutes
Gently crush the threads and infuse them in a little warm, non-boiling water or another liquid suitable for your recipe.
Add the whole infusion
Add the threads and liquid to your dish. This distributes the golden colour and distinctive aroma more evenly.
Try it in risotto, paella and rice dishes, or in creams, baking and warm drinks. Saffron is also an interesting ingredient for festive Christmas baking. Find recipes and practical guidance in our Saffron Academy.
Keep it well after opening
Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Close carefully after each use and keep away from heat, moisture and strong odours. Use clean, dry utensils.

Questions about saffron 0.5 g and Christmas gifts
Is the small pack a different quality of saffron?
The net weight describes the pack size, not the quality. This product has a documented origin, batch L2025-01 and the Eurofins results listed above. A 0.5 g pack is a practical starting size.
How many dishes can I make with 0.5 g of saffron?
That depends on the recipe, portions and desired intensity. A fixed number of threads or dishes would be inaccurate for a natural product. Follow your recipe’s quantity and start with a small amount.
Is this a suitable Christmas gift for employees?
It can make a thoughtful small culinary gift for team members who enjoy cooking or trying spices. You are giving the regular 0.5 g pack. Whether it suits your team depends on their interests.
Can I order several packs for my team?

How do I bring out the colour and aroma?
Gently crush the threads and infuse for 10–20 minutes in a little warm, non-boiling liquid. Then add the whole infusion to your dish.

Why Saffrona?
Good saffron is supported by traceable origins and documented laboratory results.
Our saffron comes from family farms in Herat, Afghanistan, and is packed in Germany. Eurofins report AR-733-2025-00206306-02, dated 24 August 2026, documents the assessment of batch L2025-01.
Why does saffron testing matter?
Saffron is used directly in food, so colour strength alone does not tell the whole story.
Independent laboratory testing provides documented information about the parameters tested. Quality measurements and food-safety analyses should be read together with the report and its scope.
