Pushal Saffron
Pushal saffron is the saffron variety with the lowest risk of fraud.
In addition to red stigmas, this type of saffron also has yellow/white areas of saffron cream, greatly reducing the potential for fraud.
Also, by purchasing Pushal Saffron, you can enjoy the properties of both a scar and a cream at the same time.
The reason for the low price of this type of saffron is the presence of cream. This depends on the cream-to-stigma ratio, the height, thickness, crimp and saffron quality of the pushal thread.
Although unlikely, even this kind of saffron can be scammed, so it is advisable to purchase Pushhal saffron from a reputable vendor.
Iran is the world’s largest saffron producer producing the best saffron varieties.

What is Pushal saffron?
After the saffron flowers are harvested from the field, the cream-attached red stigmas are mostly three-stranded and separated from the other components of the saffron flower.
The saffron konj, also called saffron white, separates from the stigmas and sticks together, leaving a small amount of white at the end, which is called pushal saffron.
It is produced at the beginning of the harvest season, which lasts from late September to mid-October each year, but this product is also available year-round from Serafinco company.
The three-armed stigma end of this species of saffron usually has a yellow or white segment (1–3 mm) and is shaped like a straw. For this reason, saffron is called pushhal, which means straw.
Pushal saffron has many fans because the yellow cream at the tip of the stigma connects the stigmas of the three branches. The existence of the same connection between the three branches eliminates the possibility of this kind of Saffron fraud.
This type of saffron is called Mancha saffron in Spain and makes up the majority of saffron produced in Spain.
