Saffron Threads

Saffron Threads (Jafran) — Delicate Aroma, Colour & Character

Saffron Threads bring a delicate floral aroma, warm golden colour and distinctive character to special dishes. Commonly known in Bangladesh as Jafran or Zafran (জাফরান), they are used in biryani, pulao, desserts, milk-based drinks and selected festive recipes. For best results, soak a small amount of saffron in warm water or milk before adding it to the dish so its colour and aroma can develop evenly.

Biryani, Payesh & Festive Inspiration

For the best release of colour and aroma, soak a few threads in warm milk or water before adding them to the recipe.

• Firni, payesh, custard and milk-based desserts
• Shemai, halwa and festive sweets

Protecting Delicate Aroma

Saffron is sensitive to light, heat and moisture. Handle it gently and keep the container closed between uses.

• Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight
• Use a clean, dry spoon or tweezers
• Close the container immediately after use
• Refer to the pack label for origin, grade and best-before information
