Back in May 2019, after two years of tireless dedication, I walked the halls of the NRA Show, dreaming of the day when I could proudly exhibit my own booth and showcase our products to the world.
The National Restaurant Association Show (NRA) holds a special place in the hearts of those in the food service and restaurant industry, known for its prestige and trustworthiness.
Fast forward to today, and I'm humbled and overjoyed to announce that Heray Spice (EnSaffron) will be back at the NRA Show, this time at the 2024 edition from May 18th to May 21st at McCormick Place Chicago! It's been a journey fueled by the hard work of my farmers, my dedicated team, and myself, and we're honored to have the opportunity to exhibit once again.

Welcome to our Saffron FAQ blog, where we address common questions and provide insightful answers about this exquisite spice. Stay tuned to enrich your saffron knowledge! In this week's exploration, we delved into the queries posed on AnswerThePublic.Com, aiming to address the top 20 questions surrounding saffron.
Why saffron is costly?
Saffron is costly due to several factors. Firstly, it's labor-intensive to harvest as each flower must be hand-picked and only a few strands are obtained from each. Additionally, saffron requires specific climate conditions to thrive, further limiting its production. Moreover, saffron's unique flavor, aroma, and vibrant color make it highly sought after in various cuisines and industries, contributing to its premium price.
In pursuit of producing superior saffron, Heray Spice goes beyond the harvest, aiming to uplift Afghan farmers with fair wages and empower women for a brighter future. The struggles faced by both farmers and women in Afghanistan are addressed with impactful solutions, marking a significant step towards positive change. The importance of women's empowerment cannot be overstated, especially in regions like Afghanistan where women have historically faced numerous challenges.
I did a ton of research before I found Heray. This is some of the best saffron you can buy and always arrives fast, fresh etc. I’ll continue to purchase from Heray Spice.

We use a lot of black pepper and I buy the peppercorns by the pound for our grinder. These have wonderful aroma and I will keep on buying them from this company.
