Super Negin Ahana is a Persian saffron from Kabiri Saffron, sourced from fields in Gonabad, in Iran’s Razavi Khorasan Province. Saffron in the area is traditionally grown using qanats, underground channels that carry water to the fields. Ahana is the name of the gift box and, according to Kabiri, comes from an Old Persian word for “home”.

The pinewood box contains 4.6 g of Super Negin saffron. The threads are thick, straight and uniformly red, with no visible yellow or white portions.

The saffron gives dishes a pronounced aroma and a golden-yellow colour. To use it, lightly crush a few threads and steep them in a little warm water, then add the infusion to rice, sauces or milk-based desserts.
