What Is Super Negin Saffron?
Super Negin saffron is carefully harvested and meticulously sorted to include only the longest, thickest, and most vibrant red stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. Unlike Pushal or Sargol, no yellow or white parts remain. Compared to standard Negin, Super Negin threads are even more uniform, bolder in appearance, and stronger in performance.
