Fabulous saffron

I started buying saffron from Rumi Spice because they were recommended by Christopher Kimball's Milk Street Magazine and podcast. I had never gotten very excited by it before, but I found out what I'd tried before must have either been old or mixed with something else, because this stuff is wonderful! I've made a couple of their recipes and an America's Test Kitchen recipe, and the scent and flavor will draw you across the room. I make Rumi's Easy Saffron Rice on a regular basis and eat it just by itself because the flavor is so rich. Saffron is now a staple in my kitchen.

Good flavor, slightly underweight, but a lot was powder.

Flavor and scent-wise, this is very nice saffron. I only bought a small quantity as a test (1/2 gram), because of other reviews about weight.I have a milligram scale. I'm on a low salt diet and I cook/salt from a salt cellar. lol. I use it to keep myself trained on "a pinch this size = x milligrams of salt". The scale is pretty accurate. The weight was 6% off. On one hand, if the moisture content changed from when the product was originally packaged, that could easily account for the difference. And we're talking cents, here. On the other hand, if I were buying a larger quantity like an ounce...that's $10.My bigger problem is that of the .47 grams I received, almost 40% was broken down pieces and powder, not threads. It isn't that big of a deal, because it taste/scent is very good, but it sort of makes it hard to judge between recipes how much saffron to use. (e.g. the first time I used about 20 threads. For repeating the recipe, how much is that in powder and broken pieces?)So. Would I buy again? Probably. The flavor was great, and I have to assume that everyone isn't getting saffron powder rather than saffron, or the reviews would reflect that. lol. Plus I applaud what they are doing from a social responsibility standpoint. YMMV.

Excellent Saffron

I am no saffron connoisseur but I used this for a paella dish that I was making and it turned out to be super delicious so I definitely think this saffron contributed to that result.

Quality!

This is really great Saffron. You get a lot of flavor with just a little bit. Most don't understand that making the Saffron Tea is simple. Take a small bottle of bottled water and add just a little saffron; start small; just a little pinch. Shake the bottle and put it in the refrigerator overnight. You will notice the color change from clear to a yellow. If it turns dark yellow just split it between another bottle as you may have used too much Saffron. Once you find your preference you will just as happy as I am. The longer it steeps the better is gets!

Disappointing

Sad to say this isn’t the freshest spice, even though it’s a premium product, I received it with a best-by date that is less than a week away. No way to return due to policy so I’m stuck with old saffron at a premium price. Be careful ordering this from Amazon, you might get stuck with subpar product.

A Five-Star Review (...but only for the laugh)

I am aware that at one time an ounce of saffron was worth more than an ounce of gold so I wasn't expecting shovels full of the spice with my order. However, I had a hearty laugh (my first in ages) when I opened the substantial jar I received and withdrew a Lilliputian-sized 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" plastic bag from the jar containing my few strands of the priceless saffron. It is for this chortle alone that I affix my five-star rating to this export from Afghanistan.The jar itself had no protective seal on the outside. There is supposed to be a seal over the top of the jar when the cap is removed, but the seal on my jar had already detached itself and was stuck to the inside of the lid. As a result, I'm not even going to use the product for human consumption, though I'll keep it around for amusement's sake. I'll buy my saffron locally in the future.

Great aroma and color

Awesome aroma and color. Price ok though not cheap. Have grown up with Saffron (some of the best quality actually grows where i am from ) but over the last decades we have tried many brands from many countries and this is definitely a cut above the most.
