What is Sargol saffron?
Saffron varieties are known by different names depending on what part of the saffron cord they are made of (claw, cream, root).
Negin Saffron, Super Negin Saffron, Sargol Saffron, Pushhal Saffron, Daste/Bunch Saffron, konj.
Both Negin and Sargol are pure and obtained entirely by separating the red saffron stigma from the daste/bunch of saffron. The stigma is separated and the root is cut off.
After that, they are sorted according to the size and colour of the wound and dried.
Negin Saffron and Super Negin Saffron are the most gorgeous saffron varieties and consist of large stigmas that do not break.
The main difference between Sargol saffron and the Negin saffron family is that the threads of Sargol saffron are broken and may contain saffron powder. With the same characteristics, taste and colour, Sargol saffron is also a very high-quality product sold at a fairer price.
Many consumers prefer sargol saffron due to the presence of yellow and white areas in pushal saffron and the high price of negin saffron.
Sargol saffron wins the most customers due to its high quality and high crocin content.
This is the reason for its high colour intensity, fair price, and year-round abundance.
Sargol saffron products offered by Serafinco are made of pure red saffron stigma and contain no roots or cream parts, resulting in high quality and excellent colour.

Preparing Sargol saffron
This type of saffron is obtained by sifting and cleaning the saffron from pushhal saffron or bunch saffron.
This process completely removes the roots and cream, leaving only scars of saffron.
When making sargol saffron from pushhal saffron or bunch saffron, the stigmas may crack or powder.
Therefore, broken and sometimes powdered saffron is found in this saffron variety, and we divide Sargol saffron into premium or lower grades based on the amount of powdered saffron and broken saffron stigmas.

Fake Sargol saffron
Scammers use a variety of methods, some of which are dangerous, to create fake saffron and sell it as premium Sargol saffron at an exorbitant price.
Some of their common cheating practices are dyeing fake or low-grade saffron, mixing it with water or sugar, mixing original saffron with corn thread, adding oil to saffron, or making high-quality Sargol saffron mixed with low-grade saffron varieties.
Sometimes the yellow and white parts of saffron or corn threads are dyed with saffron dye to increase the volume of the product, and sometimes fake or substandard saffron is dyed with artificial dyes.
Even experts may not be able to detect counterfeit saffron as supplied, and original saffron can only be verified by laboratory methods.
Here are some of the most reliable ways to identify the quality of Sargol saffron:
- The appearance of Saffron:
Original saffron is very dry and natural with a deep red color. Low-quality saffron strings look like they are coated with wax.
Even the scratches on the real saffron thread are not glued.
- Saffron Flavor:
Real saffron has a bitter taste, while synthetic saffron has a sweet taste.
3. Saffron Flavor:
Original saffron has a pungent odour similar to a combination of honey and alfalfa, but poor saffron has almost no scent.
- Boiling water test:
Original saffron floats when placed in boiling water and slowly spreads its unique colour from top to bottom, while inferior saffron sinks quickly and loses its colour quickly.
5. Baking powder test:
Place the saffron threads in a cup of boiling water and baking soda. Pure saffron turns the mixture yellow, and inferior saffron turns dark red.
If you use artificial saffron, not only will you not be able to take advantage of saffron’s properties, but its chemicals can be harmful to your health.
By following all standard principles, monitoring the saffron production process and testing the products, Serafinco Sargol Saffron offers the highest standards.

Sargol saffron price
The price of saffron depends on many factors such as the type of saffron, its quality and purity, and the number of middlemen.
The type and quality of saffron are the most important factors in determining the price.
As mentioned at the beginning, Sargol saffron consists of pure and very red stigmas of saffron, so this saffron variety is more expensive than other saffron, straw saffron and corner saffron, but negin saffron is cheaper than sargol saffron.
The price of Sargol saffron usually depends on the colour and height of the stigma and the number of broken stigmas.
The fewer number of creases, the higher the price, and conversely, the more the number of creases and the lower the height, the lower the price.
By purchasing saffron from the Serafinco manufacturing company, we are able to offer premium saffron directly at production prices.
