## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Five-Star Review (...but only for the laugh)
*by H***N on December 19, 2021*

I am aware that at one time an ounce of saffron was worth more than an ounce of gold so I wasn't expecting shovels full of the spice with my order. However, I had a hearty laugh (my first in ages) when I opened the substantial jar I received and withdrew a Lilliputian-sized 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" plastic bag from the jar containing my few strands of the priceless saffron. It is for this chortle alone that I affix my five-star rating to this export from Afghanistan.The jar itself had no protective seal on the outside. There is supposed to be a seal over the top of the jar when the cap is removed, but the seal on my jar had already detached itself and was stuck to the inside of the lid. As a result, I'm not even going to use the product for human consumption, though I'll keep it around for amusement's sake. I'll buy my saffron locally in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The very best saffron
*by N***N on August 13, 2024*

The very best saffronI order this repeatedlyUse it in my oatmeal every day

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good flavor, slightly underweight, but a lot was powder.
*by J***C on November 22, 2020*

Flavor and scent-wise, this is very nice saffron. I only bought a small quantity as a test (1/2 gram), because of other reviews about weight.I have a milligram scale. I'm on a low salt diet and I cook/salt from a salt cellar. lol. I use it to keep myself trained on "a pinch this size = x milligrams of salt". The scale is pretty accurate. The weight was 6% off. On one hand, if the moisture content changed from when the product was originally packaged, that could easily account for the difference. And we're talking cents, here. On the other hand, if I were buying a larger quantity like an ounce...that's $10.My bigger problem is that of the .47 grams I received, almost 40% was broken down pieces and powder, not threads. It isn't that big of a deal, because it taste/scent is very good, but it sort of makes it hard to judge between recipes how much saffron to use. (e.g. the first time I used about 20 threads. For repeating the recipe, how much is that in powder and broken pieces?)So. Would I buy again? Probably. The flavor was great, and I have to assume that everyone isn't getting saffron powder rather than saffron, or the reviews would reflect that. lol. Plus I applaud what they are doing from a social responsibility standpoint. YMMV.
