Saffron, this red gold of Iran, has a special place in our culture for centuries, not only as an aromatic seasoning, but also as a healing medicine. But the main concern of buyers has always been to find unadulterated pure saffron. The market is full of different names and brands, but recognizing the real quality is not an easy task. By understanding this basic need, Bano Shop has built a reliable bridge between the green fields of Qaenat and your tables to give you the experience of the real aroma and taste of saffron without intermediaries and with quality assurance. In this comprehensive article, we will examine the characteristics of original saffron, the methods of detecting fraud and the reasons that have made Bano's store the best destination for buying saffron.
The importance of using pure and high-quality saffron in the diet
Saffron is not only a food coloring; Rather, it is a treasure of medicinal properties. Crocin, picrocrocin and safranal are the three main compounds in saffron that are responsible for its color, taste and aroma. When you buy unadulterated pure saffron, you are actually inviting health into your body. High quality saffron has strong antioxidant properties that play a key role in preventing cancer, improving mood and treating depression.
Unfortunately, counterfeit saffrons sold with chemical dyes or mixed with other plants (such as dyed corn cob) lack these valuable properties and can even be harmful to health. In Bano's store, all products are tested and have a quality analysis sheet so that you can enjoy the unique properties of this plant with peace of mind. Saffron has an invigorating effect and strengthens the body's immune system against seasonal diseases.
The effect of saffron on the health of the heart and nerves
One of the most important reasons for our emphasis on preparing unadulterated pure saffron is its direct effect on the nervous and cardiovascular system. The potassium in saffron helps dilate the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Also, its active compounds prevent cholesterol deposition in the arteries and reduce the risk of heart attack. Bano's store is committed to offering a product that has the highest quality of coloring and its effective ingredients. When the grade of saffron is high, it means that the concentration of its effective ingredients is higher, and you will get a greater medicinal effect with a smaller amount of saffron.
Methods of distinguishing pure saffron without adulteration from adulterated samples
One of the frequent questions of customers of Bano store is how to recognize the original saffron? Fraudsters have many methods of cheating, from coloring the saffron root to weighting it down with honey or oil. But there are some home and laboratory methods that can help you.
- Coloring speed: Pure unadulterated saffron does not color as soon as it enters cold water. Original saffron spreads slowly and in the form of a yellow or reddish-orange band in the water. If saffron immediately turns the water red, don't doubt that it has a chemical dye.
- Fat on paper: If you press the saffron threads between straw paper and a fat stain remains, it indicates adulteration. Original saffron does not have fat.
- Taste and smell: The taste of original saffron is a little bitter, but its smell is very pleasant and sweet. If the saffron had a sweet taste, it was probably sprayed with sugar water or honey to increase its weight.
- Appearance of the stigma: The stigma heads of pure unadulterated saffron should be trumpet-shaped. If the strings are smooth and rod, the possibility of fraud is high.
At Banoo Store, all these criteria are checked by quality control experts before packaging. We believe that the customer has the right to know what he is consuming, and for this reason, transparency in product supply is our first priority.
Why is Bano's store the best choice for buying saffron?
The online market is full of colorful stores, but Bano Store, relying on the principles of customer-oriented and quality-oriented, has been able to open a special place in the hearts of buyers. Our main difference is in "quality guarantee". Many stores sell saffron simply as a commodity, but in Bano Store, saffron is an originality.
Elimination of middlemen and competitive price
One of the reasons for the high price of saffron in the market is the presence of many brokers. Every intermediary adds a percentage to the price and finally the product reaches the consumer at an exorbitant price. By eliminating middlemen and directly communicating with Khorasan farmers, Banu's store has been able to supply pure, unadulterated saffron at a much more reasonable price than the market. This doesn't mean low quality, it means eliminating extra brokerage fees. You actually pay the actual cost of the product, not the middleman's profit.
Money back guarantee and product authenticity
At Bano Store we believe in the quality of our products. For this reason, we have considered a return guarantee for all orders. If after purchasing and testing the product, you find that this saffron does not meet the standards of unadulterated pure saffron, you can return it and get your money back. This level of confidence is only possible when the seller is sure of the authenticity of his goods. We know that your trust is our main capital and we will never risk this capital by offering a poor quality product.
Standard and hygienic packaging
Saffron is a sensitive plant and if it is stored in improper conditions, it loses its aroma and properties. Light, humidity and air are the main enemies of saffron quality. In Bano's store, Khatam metal packaging and standard crystal containers are used, which prevents the penetration of air and moisture and preserves the quality of saffron until the moment of consumption. When you open the package of saffron, you will smell the same fresh aroma as if it was just picked from the field.
All kinds of saffron available in the lady's store
Knowing the types of saffron will help you make a smarter purchase. In Bano's store, different types of saffron are offered based on the type of cleaning and different parts of the stigma, so that everyone can make the best choice according to their needs and budget. But the common thing in all these products is that they are all unadulterated pure saffron.
precious saffron; The peak of beauty and coloring power
Nagin saffron is the most luxurious type of saffron. In this type, the three branches of the stigma (red part) are separate and no cream (yellow or white part) is attached to them. The stigmas are large, smooth and without wrinkles. The coloring power of Negin saffron is very high and its grade is usually above 250. This type of saffron is very suitable for export and special gifts. If you are looking for the most beautiful and high-quality pure saffron without adulteration, Nagin Banu saffron is the best option.
Sargol saffron; The most used and the most popular
Sargol saffron is the type that most people know and use. In this type, there is only the red part, but the stigmas may be slightly broken. Sargol's coloring quality is also very high and it is considered an excellent option for home use, restaurants and confectioneries. In Bano's store, Sargol saffron is obtained by carefully sifting Pushal saffron and its purity is guaranteed. You can enjoy the unique aroma and taste of pure unadulterated saffron at a lower cost than Negin.
Pushal saffron; An economical choice with guaranteed authenticity
In Pushal saffron, there is a red stigma with a small amount of cream (yellow part). The presence of this yellow part greatly reduces the possibility of fraud, because it is difficult for fraudsters to copy this natural structure. Many ancients believe that Pushal saffron has more aroma because all the properties of the plant are connected. Although its coloring power is a little less than Sargol and Nagin, it has no shortage in terms of flavor and taste. Bano Shop recommends this product for those who are looking for 100% assurance of product authenticity.
Dokhtarpich saffron (bunch); The most original type of packaging
This type of saffron is the most traditional method of drying saffron, in which the whole strands (red and yellow) are dried side by side and tied with thread. This type of saffron has the least possibility of fraud and has a wonderful aroma. In Bano's store, Dokhtarpich saffron is prepared directly from the seeds of hardworking farmers and is a symbol of authenticity and tradition.
The process of controlling the quality and grade of saffron in Bano's store
At Bano's store, we are not limited to the appearance of saffron. The grade of saffron, which indicates the amount of crocin (color), picrocrocin (taste) and safranal (perfume), must be confirmed in the laboratory. Low quality saffrons, even if they are pure, do not have the necessary quality for our customers. Pure unadulterated saffron should be able to color and flavor a large amount of food with a very small amount.
We periodically test our products in cooperation with reputable food laboratories. National and international standards are followed in all stages of storage and packaging. Our goal is that when you hear the name Bano Shop, the first thing that comes to your mind is premium quality and honesty in sales.
Various uses of saffron in cooking and food industry
The use of unadulterated pure saffron is not limited to saffron rice. This magical spice is used in the preparation of all kinds of desserts, syrups, teas and even beauty masks.
- Saffron tea: A relaxing and anti-depressant drink that works wonders when mixed with rosemary and cardamom. The quality of saffron Fourgah Bano makes your tea have a clear color and an amazing aroma.
- Pastry: In the preparation of cakes, halva, shalezard and traditional ice cream, nothing can replace the aroma of original saffron. The use of artificial colors spoils the taste of the dessert, but lady's saffron gives it a heavenly taste.
- Pharmaceutical and health industries: Due to its antioxidant properties, saffron extract is used in skin rejuvenation creams. You can make high-quality homemade masks by buying unadulterated pure saffron from Bano Store.
The effect of storage conditions on maintaining the quality of saffron
Even if you buy the best pure unadulterated saffron, improper storage can destroy it. After buying from Bano's store, be sure to keep saffron in closed containers in a dry and cool place away from sunlight. Grinding saffron just before consumption releases more of its aroma. If you grind saffron, be sure to store it in a completely sealed container so that its aroma does not escape.
Our suggestion is to buy saffron in the amount needed for a few months so that it is always fresh, although the packages of Bano Shop are designed in such a way that they guarantee the shelf life of the product for up to two years. Brewing saffron with a piece of ice (thermal shock) is one of the best methods to extract the maximum color and aroma, which gives amazing results with high quality saffron.
