This is my second order of Heray saffron. Decided to try the saffron strands instead of the saffron powder this time, because I read that the strands retain more nutritional value due to less processing. Haven’t actually tried the strands yet to determine whether any noticeable difference in nutritional value is detected. However, it does appear that the saffron strands are more cost effective than the powdered form, which requires additional processing costs, I assume. Both come nicely packaged and provide nicely sealed containers to preserve freshness. Exceedingly timely delivery, and the seller is exceedingly honorable. Very happy with both the products and the seller.

All the saffron have a dark burgundy color. I used a saffron rice recipe from "Time-Life" series on Spanish cooking, and it works well. I am just a layman, not a super taster or professional cook. But, it fits with the descriptions given by all the pros.
