For centuries Afghanistan was recognized as the preeminent junction of the Silk Road trade routes between Asia and Europe, which stretched 4, 350 miles. A country rich in natural resources and timeless craftsmanship. Named after the famous trade route between Asia and Europe, our company is focussed on sharing a little taste of our most prized spice, Afghan saffron with the rest of the world. Saffron is the stigma of a saffron flower and is very delicate and thus has to be picked by hand, making this a time consuming task. It takes approximately 500,000 stigmas to produce one kilogram of saffron. We believe by helping create jobs and revitalizing the economy in Afghanistan, we can help bring peace and stability to the country. Currently we supply saffron to wineries throughout northern California as well as fine-dining restaurants on both the East and West Coast. We hope you will try our unique and versatile spice in your next dish or drink. Afghan Saffron has officially ranked #1 in the world for best quality at the International Taste and Quality Institute in Brussels, Belgium. Our organic saffron is sustainbly farmed and we ensure that it is of the highest standard. At Silk Road Saffron, we believe in connecting the world through an exchange of goods and culture. We're obsessively passionate about cooking with this unique spice and are excited to share this with you./br/brIf you are not 100% satisfied with your order send us a message and we will refund your order in full, no question asked.
