but it’s not at all? you can literally go to the saffron farms when they harvest it, and buy it directly. you’re spreading misinformation and frankly that saffron looks like ass bro.
You know that even that fine iranian saffron is usually imported from Kashmir or Afghani, right?

In such cases, why not grow your own if being such a connoisseur?!
Then again, a good excuse to visit the old country, have fun. Also, you must be very good at cooking to have such good understanding about the saffron quality, and how the packaging is telling of the taste.
Good on you.
