At Zaran Saffron, we are proud to be one of the largest employers of women. The cultivation and and harvest of Saffron has been performed as it was since ancient times: by hand. Village women are set on the task of removing the delicate saffron threads. 

It takes 4,500 Crocus Flowers to make up just one ounce of Saffron. This laborious task is one of the many reasons Saffron has been named the worlds most expensive spice. 

Zaran Saffron was created with the goal of empowering rural farmers through fair trade. We work with our farmers directly, without involving third party distributors or middle-men. This allows us to provide our hard working farmers and their families with living wages. 

We're also committed to only using sustainable harvesting methods. That means our Saffron is grown naturally, without the use of any chemicals, pesticides, or harmful fertilizers. 

Our Saffron comes directly from our farms where the elusive blend of soil, topography, and climate produces crocus fields unlike anywhere else. 

We take pride in being the most trusted Saffron brand. All of our Saffron is Lab tested for high levels of Crocin (Color), Picocrocin (Flavor), and Safranal (Aroma). See how our Products compare, take a look at our lab analysis.
