Negin Saffron
This model of saffron includes the stigma part of the saffron plant without any part of its cream (the white or yellow part at the end of the stigma). Negin saffron is the most expensive type of saffron and has very high quality. This type includes four different models in the form of super precious saffron, 1st-grade Negin saffron (excellent Negin ), 2nd-grade gem (Pushal Negin), and 3rd-grade (similar to Negin saffron). These four models are different from each other in terms of quality (string thickness) and price.
Pushal Saffron
If, when separating the saffron stigma from its flower, 1 to 3 mm of the style part is also separated, the saffron string will be two-colored (red with a white or yellow end). This model is called Pushal Saffron. The appearance quality of this saffron is lower than Negin and Sargol saffrons, but in terms of coloring, it has better quality compared to these two models and is one of the best types of Iranian saffron. Pushal saffron has three different models, including Ghalamdar pushal, normal pushal and weak pushal.
Sargol Saffron
This model of saffron is the most common type of saffron for use in food. Sargol saffron is obtained by sieving Dokhtar Pich saffron or Pushal saffron. This model is almost like Negin saffron and only the red part of the stigma of the saffron flower can be seen in it. In terms of quality, the strands of this saffron are not uniform and sometimes there are soft saffron or broken strands in it. The quality of this saffron in the 1st-grade model is high and this model is usually very suitable for export.
