Great Threads!

The Saffron Threads come sealed in a small cannister which protects them from moisture. They are long and beautiful and add great flavor to my mexican rice! I would recommend them to anyone who used Saffron in recipes. Sorry no pic of rice.

Saffron threads

I ordered these on a whim. I enjoy a variety of rice dishes, and decided to experiment. The saffron threads arrived in a small jar, that is sealed. I will up date at a later time. We are just entering, into the cooler season, and I will begin cooking soups, rice dishes, stews, etc. Until then, I am very pleased with the service, and timeliness, of Vanilla Bean King.

Giving 4 stars since I have yet to use it - but for the price and packaging it’s already got 4 stars! I was expecting a much smaller amount!

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm livid.

EXPIRED plus it is probably fake. I saw some comments made by people who peeled the sticker back and found an expiration date of May 2023. So I peeled mine back and found the same older expiration date. If a company can lie about this they can certainly lie about this being real saffron. ABSURD. Do not buy Saffron from this company.

L.S.,
I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed in your order! I can assure you, the saffron that we provide is of the highest quality. We mistakenly purchased a very large amount of the saffron tins a while back, and are working our way through them, filling them regularly with our newest shipments of saffron from Afghanistan. This way, we're able to provide the accurate expiration date, while still keeping customer costs as low as possible by using the mis-dated packaging. I would be more than willing to provide photos and documentation to back up this information, if you'd like. Please reach out to us at support@vanillabeankings.com if you have any additional questions or concerns!
