Saffron Threads

Rumi Spice saffron packs big flavor in just a small pinch. 1 gram is enough for 74 dishes of paella, and you'll only need 8-12 threads when cooking rice or risotto. It's that potent. Warm, nuanced, and a little sweet, use it to add deep flavor and bright colour to your dishes.
Separate the glass jar and metal lid and recycle both in a curbside bin. The plastic tamper seal is recyclable through TerraCycle by following our special instructions.

How it does good
Connecting Afghan farmers to the global market
Over 80% of the population in Afghanistan depends on the rural agricultural economy. With this in mind, Rumi strives to build demand for Afghan spices and create a global supply chain. The success of the spice industry brings jobs to farmers and the women who harvest and process the spices. By empowering Afghan farmers and building out the country's agricultural infrastructure, Rumi directly impacts Afghanistan's economic development.
Rumi works directly with Afghan farmers and tests all their products to make sure they're free of pesticides.
