About pushal Saffron:

Pushal saffron is a type of saffron that has the least risk of fraud. In this type of saffron, in addition to the red stigmas, the yellow/white part of the saffron cream is also seen, which greatly reduces the possibility of fraud.
Also, by buying Pushal saffron, you can benefit from the properties of its stigma and cream at the same tim
the reason for the low price of this type of saffron is the presence of cream, which can be different depending on the ratio of cream and stigma, the height, thickness, and curliness of Pooshal strings, and the quality of saffron.
After the saffron flowers are harvested from the fields, the red stigmas, which are attached to the cream and are usually three-stranded, are separated from the other components of the saffron flower. If the saffron cream, also called saffron whiteness, is separated from the stigmas so that the stigmas remain attached to each other and there is a small amount of whiteness at the end, it is called Pushal saffron. Pushal saffron is produced at the beginning of the harvest season which is late September until Mid-October each year, but this product is also available at Eyjan company all year round. At the end of the three-branched stigmas of this type of saffron, usually, some (1 to 3 mm) yellow or white is seen, which gives it a straw-like shape; For this reason, saffron is called Pushal, which means straw. Yellow cream at the end of the stigmas has caused Pooshal saffron to have many fans because due to the cream, the stigmas of the three branches remain connected to each other. The existence of the same connection of the three branches to each other, and reduces the possibility of fraud in this type of saffron to zero. This type of saffron, which is called Mancha saffron in Spain, forms a large part of saffron produced in Spain.
Pushal saffron is dried in such a way that the strands are red and bulky and usually consist of strands of red and yellow parts. Its coloring power is about 170 to 250 degrees, which is less than Sargol saffron and Negin saffron due to the presence of cream. But it has more coloring power than Bunch saffron. In general, Poushal saffron has an acceptable coloring power for cooking. Also, the amount of crocin and safranal in Pooshal saffron is lower than other types of saffron and Negin saffron in terms of quality.

Types of Pushal saffron:

Pushal saffron is usually divided into the following 3 quality grades based on the amount of strands curliness, the amount of cream attached to it, as well as the size of the strands. Familiarity with these three categories when buying Pushal saffron can help you.

  • Grade A+ Premium / Pushal Qalamdar saffron
    This type is one of the best types of Pushal saffron in which the stigmas are thick, smooth, and elongated, and as a result, they have less curliness than other types of Pooshal saffron and have a higher coloring power. The amount of yellowness or cream in this type of Pushal saffron is less and the strings are larger. Among the characteristics of Pushal Qalamdar saffron, the following can be mentioned:
    • Deep orange color
    • No pieces stuck together
    • The ends of the stigmas are white
    • The stigmas are thick
    • The stigmas aren’t wavy
    • The ends of the stigmas are connected
    Grade B / Ordinary Pushal saffron
    This type of Poushal saffron has a wavy stigma with normal thickness and more cream and has a much better aroma and taste than the weak type.
  • Grade C / Weak Pushal saffron
    The stigmas of this type Poushal saffron are very weak, brittle, and thin. The reason for the formation of this group is insufficient water, unsuitable soil, and weak saffron bulbs.
    In general, Pushal saffron that has thick and smooth stigmas, no wrinkles, and has less cream (root) is called Pushal Qalamdar saffron, and Pooshal saffron, which has a normal stigma and has more cream, is called ordinary Pushal.

  • Pushal saffron that we offer has the following standards:

    1. Crocin (staining power) about 220
    2. Safranal (taste and smell) about 40
    3. picrocrocin (bitterness) about 90
    4. humidity below 7%

The difference between Pushal saffron and Super Negin, Negin or Sargol saffron:

The most important difference between Pushal saffron and Sargol saffron is in their appearance. Sargol is composed of pure all red stigmas and does not have any yellowness (cream) because to prepare Sargol saffron, only the red stigma is separated, also broken stigmas could be seen in Sargol saffron, but in Poushal Saffron, usually, three branches of saffron (stigmas) are connected and at the end of them there is some yellowness, which in Pushal Qalamdar saffron it is less than ordinary Poushal saffron. In general, it can be said that Pushal saffron consists of all the stigmas and a part of the saffron string cream, while Sargol saffron only has the top part of the stigma. Its color is less than Sargol and its price is lower due to the presence of roots.

Pushal saffron uses:

Due to the lower price of Pushal saffron rather than other types of saffron, it’s usually used for the production of various products in confectioneries and factories, as well as in-home cooking. Also, because it is easier to buy original Pooshal saffron, people prefer to buy it. Among the uses of Pushal saffron, the following can be mentioned.
• Use in ice cream factories and saffron syrups
• Used in the kitchen of restaurants to prepare a variety of foods and rice

Advantages of buying Pushal saffron?

This is one of the benefits of Poushal saffron, But in addition to being fake or genuine, there are other benefits to using Pushal saffron, which we will discuss below.
• This type of saffron has a higher percentage of red stigma than cream and therefore has a high coloring power. The coloring power of Pushal saffron is up to 250 UPS.
• Due to the presence of cream, Pushal saffron has all the properties of a complete saffron string.
• Pushal saffron price is lower than other saffron.

Pushal saffron price:

The price of original saffron depends on various factors, including the type of saffron, its quality, and purity, the number of intermediary sellers, the place where saffron is grown, and the reputation of the saffron supplier, etc.
But the type and quality of saffron is the most important factor in determining its price.
The price of Pushal saffron is cheaper than other all red pure types of saffron, such as Negin saffron, Super Negin saffron, and Sargol saffron, because there is some cream along with the saffron stigma, and the price of cream (root) is much cheaper than the stigma.
Depending on its quality level, Poushal saffron is sold at different prices. The taller and thicker the stigmas, the higher the ratio of red stigmas to cream, and the less broken stigmas and saffron powder, the higher the price.

BENEFITS
  • A Powerful Antioxidant

Saffron contains an impressive variety of plant compounds that act as antioxidants — molecules that protect your cells against free radicals and oxidative stress. Notable saffron antioxidants include crocin, crocetin, safranal, and kaempferol . Crocin and crocetin are carotenoid pigments and responsible for saffron’s red color. Both compounds may have antidepressant properties, protect brain cells against progressive damage, improve inflammation, reduce appetite, and aid weight loss. Safranal gives saffron its distinct taste and aroma. Research shows that it may help improve your mood, memory, and learning ability, as well as protect your brain cells against oxidative stress. Lastly, kaempferol is found in saffron flower petals. This compound has been linked to health benefits, such as reduced inflammation, anticancer properties, and antidepressant activity.

  • depression treatment

Saffron is nicknamed the “sunshine spice.” That’s not just due to its distinct color, but also because it may help brighten your mood.In a review of five studies, saffron supplements were significantly more effective than placebos at treating symptoms of mild-to-moderate depression. Other studies found that taking 30 mg of saffron daily was just as effective as Fluoxetine, Imipramine, and Citalopram — conventional treatments for depression. Additionally, fewer people experienced side effects from saffron compared to other treatments. What’s more, both the saffron petals and thread-like stigma appear to be effective against mild-to-moderate depression.

  • Anti-cancer properties

Saffron is high in antioxidants, which help neutralize harmful free radicals. Free radical damage has been linked to chronic diseases, such as cancer. In test-tube studies, saffron and its compounds have been shown to selectively kill colon cancer cells or suppress their growth, while leaving normal cells unharmed. This effect also applies to skin, bone marrow, prostate, lung, breast, cervix, and several other cancer cells. What’s more, test-tube studies have found that crocin – the main antioxidant in saffron – may make cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy drugs.

  • Reduces the symptoms of PMS (premenstrual Syndrom)

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a term that describes physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms occurring before the start of a menstrual period. Studies show that saffron may help treat PMS symptoms. In women 20–45 years of age, taking 30 mg of saffron daily was more effective than a placebo at treating PMS symptoms, such as irritability, headaches, cravings, and pain. Another study found that simply smelling saffron for 20 minutes helped reduce PMS symptoms like anxiety and lowered levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

  • Acts as an Aphrodisiac

Aphrodisiacs are foods or supplements that help boost your libido. Studies have shown that saffron may have aphrodisiac properties- especially in people taking antidepressants. For instance, taking 30 mg of saffron daily over four weeks significantly improv  erectile function over a placebo in men with antidepressant-related erectile dysfunction. Additionally, an analysis of six studies showed that taking saffron significantly improved erectile function, libido, and overall satisfaction. Also In women with low sexual desire due to taking antidepressants, 30 mg of saffron daily over four weeks reduced sex-related pain and increased sexual desire and lubrication, compared to a placebo.

  • Reduces appetite and weight

Snacking is a common habit that may put you at risk of gaining unwanted weight. According to research, saffron may help prevent snacking by curbing your appetite.In one eight-week study, women taking saffron supplements felt significantly more full, snacked less frequently, and lost significantly more weight than women in the placebo group. In another  study, taking a saffron extract supplement helped significantly reduce appetite, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and total fat mass.

  •  Easy to Add to Your Diet

and test-tube studies indicate that saffron’s antioxidant properties lower blood cholesterol and prevent blood vessels and arteries from clogging. In small doses, saffron has a subtle taste and aroma and pairs well with savory dishes, such as paella, risottos, and other rice dishes. The best way to draw out saffron’s unique flavor is to soak the threads in hot — but not boiling — water. Add the threads and the liquid to your recipe to achieve a deeper, richer flavor. Saffron is readily available at most specialty markets and can be purchased as threads or in powdered form. However, it’s best to buy the threads, as they give you more versatility and are less likely to be adulterated. Though saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, a small amount goes a long way, and you often won’t need more than a pinch in your recipes. In fact, using too much saffron can give your recipes an overpowering medicinal taste.

  • Risks, Precautions, and Dosage

Saffron is generally safe with little to no side effects. In standard cooking amounts, saffron does not appear to cause adverse effects in humans. As a dietary supplement, people can safely take up to 1.5 grams of saffron per day. However, only 30 mg of saffron per day have been shown to be enough to reap its health benefits. On the other hand, high doses of 5 grams or more can have toxic effects. Pregnant women should avoid high doses, as it may cause miscarriage. As with any supplement, speak to your doctor before taking saffron in supplement form. Another issue with saffron – especially saffron powder – is that it may be adulterated with other ingredients, such as beet, red-dyed silk fibers, turmeric, and paprika. Adulteration cuts cost for manufacturers, as real saffron is expensive to harvest. Therefore, it’s important to purchase saffron from a reputable brand to ensure you get an authentic product. If the saffron appears too cheap, its best to avoid it.
