Selling Saffron

[expert4knowledge]

Hello, I am offering a  service for selling Saffron. It has may characteristics such help to overcome depression. It makes people more happy and good spice for foods.
This is saffron for the guys who do not know it:


It is extracted from the following flower:

It can also be used to improve the appearance of food and makes it more delicious:

The price depends on the value that you ask. now for values more than 100 grams it is 4$ gram and for small amounts it is 5$ per gram, for example shipping costs to India is about 19$ for 4.5 grams and for most of European countries it is 20$. For bigger values for example 1 kg it is 300$ for European countries and a bit less for India. If we want to send more than 1 kg for extra kilograms, shipping cost is 100$, so for example if we want to send 1kg to Italy costs, considering the 4$/gram, it is=(cost of saffron+shipping cost)=(1000*4$+300$)=4300$ although 1kg is very big amount for this Gold plant.

Price, quantity, quality, shipping?
Is it organic? Where is it sourced from?
Where are you shipping from?
Pictures?

Thanks

Price depends on  the quantity. It is originated from Iran and for sure since I am connected with producers you can ensure from quality. It is completely pure and if you need some standards I can guarantee it. Prices depend on quantity since shipping and other costs depend on it.

From where are you shipping? Giving saffron high per-kilo price, expedition cost should be roughly the same for dire rent quantities. Is it whole or powdered? How much for a gram or two?

[Arcteryx]

Would this not be considered a food when it sent to other countries and confiscated by border patrols at immigration crossing as such?
Maybe listing as spice is different but you ever see those shows on tv about airport authorties? They do checks at mailing port too for this.

It is whole but can be powdered, although we prefer extracted from flower. The price strongly depends on where we want to sell it.

It can be used in medicine industry too to create some anti-depression medicines. Yes they do, if value is more than some grams then some legal processes can be used.

Saffron seems to have some antidepressants effect via serotonin modulation it's true, but it's costly, and no more effective than unexpensive ssri's like prozac.

OK, 2 grams is very few and I think for that value the price is about 8$ but I am scared about costs of shipping. I will ask and let you know.

That would be the only issue. But since Iran and India (where I am from) have had good relations in the past and both of our countries produce and export Saffron it really won't be an issue. However the shipment company used might be a problem as I have had many of my international small packages lost / stolen before.

Yes, there are some companies that they do it for moving saffron. I will ask and let you know.

Hello to all who asked for saffron, sending saffron even for small values need customs and passing standards so I am asking about price of doing these and it must not affect a lot on price.

[expert4knowledge]

I updated the information of the post and provided more information about my service. The shipping cost is from 18$ to 23$. For every gram I take 4-5$ and the qualities of saffrons are guaranteed and from the highest qualities saffrons.

Wow bro what a coincidence! I am having Biryani while I noticed this thread!
Such an awesome incentive of selling a product which is very much costly nowadays.

I am quite interested in buying 1Kg of saffron but first I want you to deliver me a sample of the Iranian saffron so that I can compare its flavour with our Kashmiri type. If it feels quite appealing I will surely buy more and more from you.

Let me know if you are agreeing with my proposition


For those who do not know what is saffron and how it is extracted here is a small trivia for them:

Saffron is a plant. The stigmas (male reproductory part of the flower) are dried and are used to make saffron spice like the first picture shown in op. It can take 75,000 saffron blossoms to produce a single pound of saffron spice. It is largely cultivated and harvested by hand. Due to the amount of labor involved in harvesting, saffron is considered one of the world's most expensive spices.

Saffron is largely known to cure Alzheimer’s disease (within 22 weeks), depression, premenstrual symptoms and menstrual discomfort.

Although there are some side effects of consuming more saffron than the critical amount like dry mouth, low BP, allergies, dizziness etc. but we should look more on its nutritional values:

You can better watch this video or read page 2 of this doc by ibcmt.com.

For God's sake this is not any kind of weed that most people generally take! LOL!
Apart from its medicinal value this is used mainly as a spice to add wonderful flavors in some recipes.
