"This exceptionally bright and aromatic saffron comes from Herat, Afghanistan, home of Heray Spice’s founder, Mohammad Salehi."
As a Chicago based SAFFRON company, Heray Spice stands out for its commitment to quality, freshness, and transparency. Our saffron is meticulously hand-picked and sun-dried using traditional methods. We prioritize transparency in our sourcing practices, allowing customers to trace each thread of saffron back to its origin in Herat Afghanistan. As a farmers cooperative based in Herat Afghanistan, Heray Spice is dedicated to uplifting the Afghan farming community. We work directly with local farmers in Herat. We ensure fair compensation for our farmers and support sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both the community and the environment.
Heray Spice is led by a dedicated group of Afghan immigrants who served as local interpreters for the US Army and US Marines between 2010 and 2014. Drawing from our experience, we established the company to support farmers in Afghanistan and provide customers with the highest quality saffron.
To make sure we have the best saffron, we bring farmers together to train them on food safety, standard packaging, and safe processing of saffron. By importing artisanal Afghanistan saffron, Heray Spice is employing 30 local family farmers in Herat. We source our beautiful spices directly from them, and empowering their community with fair-trade principles.
At Heray Spice, we take pride in being a farmers' cooperative that not only sources the highest quality saffron, but also provides training to farmers on sustainable farming practices, food safety, and standard processing techniques. As a socially responsible business, we pledge to give back a portion of our net income to educational charities in Afghanistan.
I continue to order from Heray Spice again and again, for myself and to give as gifts. The quality is excellent, and the packaging is attractive. And it's been very enjoyable to try new tests - the black lime powder is fantastic!
Dear Catherine,
Thank you for the kind 5-star review. We appreicate your support and gifting our spices. Please stay warm and enjoy.
I ordered the cumin and saffron, and wow! What you can buy in the grocery store smells stale and bland compared to this. I’ve recommended Heray Spice to all my other foodie friends.
Dear Brittany, thank you for the kind 5-star review. We are glad you are enjoy your fresh cumin. Yes, that is our promise, freshly harvested, ethically sourced saffron and spices.
This is the best Saffron I have ever bought! I give it a 10 out of 10! The person I dealt with was very nice and helpful. I already made a jar of tincture with it!
