        I have genuine concerns about "fair trade" issues with Iranian peasants working hard and gaining small in return. Can you provide a statement on how fairly you treat the farmers with you buying 50kg saffron in one go? You should be a billionaire.

        • Store RepSaffron-Store @ Saffron Store on 18/02/2017 - 22:23

          The whole reason of Saffron Store was to cut the middle men, bring quality saffron to Aus and around the world and to give a fair share to the hard working farmers in Iran. Around 400,000 flowers go into only 1 kilo of saffron. Middle men were killing the trade and treating farmers badly and they had the sanctions to blame everyone. We wanted to change that. it took 2 years for us to get farmers to trust us and gather courage to sell their fresh saffron to us. And here you are, enjoying first hand premium fresh saffron with a fraction of price knowing you bought it from farmers not corporates.

        • Shahrasb on 19/02/2017 - 13:40

          Peasant?! LOL. The last vestiges of Persian feudal system was utterly abolished back in 1963 by the last Shah of Iran. If you meant poor farmers by that, well, that's another story. They are impoverished because a monstrosity called Islamic Republic has been sucking resources dry in the country for close to 4 decades.

          Aside from petty farmers who rely on saffron cultivation for a living, there are some landowners that hire workers to cultivate saffron and sell it for a meager profit. I know of an American old lady and her Iranian husband running a farm near the city of Neyshabur who sell off their surplus saffron every year.

          Most of the profit is grabbed by the middlemen which is purely evil.

          Speaking of "fair trade", if farmers in Iran were to be paid a Western wage, prices could soar to 10 times as much at the least.

        • Pornboy69er on 19/02/2017 - 21:24

          @behzadm: Friend, You don't seem to understand that a farmer in Iran does not require a western wage to live a good life. This is true for other areas too since not only is their currency weaker but the cost of living is lower by ten fold. To increase their wage could potentially create economical issues due to farmers now earning more than say a doctor.

        • Shahrasb on 20/02/2017 - 14:32

          @Siddeeqi al-Hammoud: Buddy, I didn't say they "should" earn a Western wage outright. I worked as a doctor in Iran up until 2010 and barely sustained on equivalent of 2K USD income combined with my spouse with almost no savings, not to mention we were quite lucky that we owned our flat. Anyhow, what the rural farmers earn is abysmally low and the repressive regime holding the economy hostage is to be blamed.

          I knew of farmers who couldn't pay for the transport costs to take their kids to specialty hospitals in the province's capital to treat their kids. One had a kid with brain tumor that went neglected for a few years simply 'cause parents were illiterate, unaware, and couldn't afford anything. The tumor had grown to dissolve the skull bone and stick out of the poor kid's fontanel. "Living a good life on a low wage", nope, I beg to differ.

          @Saffron-Store:

          "cut the middle men"

          Such a Powerful word.

          ~Imagine a world without a middle man
          ~F2C (Factory to customer) directly
          ~Guarantee the lowest price possible, Super Competitive Price
          ~Enforcing the Factory to maximize their production efficiency to bring the price down even further
          ~More direct feedback to the manufacturer from the customer, in case the customer not satisfied with the product quality,reliability or durability
          ~Encourage the Manufacturer (Factory) to make some improvement to the product based on the most helpful review like amazon-review

          I always craved to create a website that connect the manufacturer to the customer to enforce the direct communication regarding product complaint/feedback

          @superready: thank you for the msg.
          It definite got to do with the quality and freshness. Some of these brands' saffron is 2-3 years old. Specially the ones that get here in Australia. They call it "left overs".
          Not trying to judge them. But I'm a heav saffron user myself and not finding proper saffron was the reason we started Saffron Store.

          Hope I answered your question.

Just buy it from Afghan supermarkets (who basically retail the stuff that is used within Iran, e.g. Bahramen mark) $15 for 4 grams and $8 for 2 grams. This will save you a few dollars especially if you smoke the thing.

      If you keep saffron away from air and moisture, it will last you years. That's why we have our saffron packs air vacuumed.
      The air and moisture take away the aroma and sometimes texture of saffron.
      Keep your saffron in an air tight container and you're good to go :)

    This is a great price for grade 1 saffron. While it's only about 50% cheaper than the Masterfoods, the Masterfoods appears to be a grade 2 saffron and can't really be compared. http://www.saffrondust.com.au/where-can-i-buy-saffron-thread…

    Have never been a fan of supermarket saffron, so I'm hoping this can give a restaurant quality result rather than plain, slightly yellow coloured rice as you get with the Masterfoods stuff.
