The saffron is rich in flavor, vibrant in color, and brings a unique depth to every dish.
It’s clear that Palwasha Spice is a brand that prioritizes quality, and as an Afghan woman-owned company, it’s wonderful to support them.

Our premium Afghan Super Negin saffron represents the highest grade of saffron, distinguished by its long, vibrant crimson threads, exceptional color, rich aroma, and remarkable flavor. Hand-harvested in Herat, Afghanistan, it is prized by chefs and discerning home cooks around the world for its uncompromising quality.
Sourced directly from our founder's homeland, Palwasha Spice works closely with farmers in Herat, many of them women, building long-term relationships that help create meaningful economic opportunities while bringing one of Afghanistan's greatest agricultural treasures to kitchens across the United States.
The saffron harvest is as extraordinary as the spice itself. Before sunrise, each delicate crocus flower is carefully picked by hand during the brief 2-month harvest season beginning in late November. The crimson stigmas are then meticulously separated by hand, a process requiring extraordinary skill and patience. It takes approximately 70,000 flowers to produce just one pound of saffron, making it one of the world's most precious and labor-intensive spices.
