NIIDA-saffron is pure saffron from Afghanistan
Pure saffron from Afghanistan comes from a unique mix of soil, water and sunshine. The richness and fertility of the soil, the purity of the mineral-rich water, a dry climate and abundant sunshine make it possible to produce the best saffron in the world.
The world's best saffron
Niida Saffron is renowned for its exclusive saffron of unparalleled quality, acclaimed as the best in the world by the International Taste Institute in Brussels and found impressive by a panel of 200 international top chefs
Tested and confirmed Category 1
Our saffron is tested by a certified laboratory according to the European standard: ISO 3632-2 and is classified as category 1, with the exclusive A+ rating designated for premium saffron. This certification guarantees high quality and richness in active compounds.
Handmade harvest
Saffron consists of the thread of the saffron crocus, a rare flower that blooms in autumn. Then the threads have to be pulled out to dry in the sun. This work has to be done by hand.
The World's Most Versatile Spice
The taste of saffron is described as slightly sweet and aromatic. You need only a little saffron to give your food flavour (and colour). Saffron is added to sauces, desserts, liqueurs, cheese, butter and milk.
Powerful antioxidant
The crocetin in saffron, acts as an anti-cancer/anti-tumour agent, inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and increasing the anti-oxidative system.
The spice of happiness
In the past few years, a number of published studies have shown a clear depression-reducing effect. Just last year, researchers found that crocin, an active ingredient in saffron (crocus sativus), is a useful addition to the pharmaceutical treatment of major depression.
Saffron for your eyes
One of the most important healing powers of Saffron is its ability to improve vision. Saffron helps to restore the structure and function of the retinal cells by improving the blood supply to the eyes. This counteracts the age-related visual decline. Saffron contains a high concentration of natural crocin and carotenoids that can help protect the lens and retina of ageing eyes.
A great ally for you heart
Saffron is a good source of potassium, which plays an important role in your organism: it is good for the nervous system, helps maintain normal blood pressure and plays a role in keeping muscles strong and supple.
The immune system
Saffron is a rich source of vitamins B (especially B1, B2 and B6) and C, which are essential for maintaining a healthy immune system.
