    2019?

  • Slippery Fish on 07/05/2018 - 18:49

    Cheaper than saffron store lol

  • vr4indian on 07/05/2018 - 18:51

    Around $6000 a kg.. may be the most expensive item in grocery store or supermarket

      Inkjet ink is more expensive per litre…

        Doesn't taste as nice sprinkled through your rice.

          Saffron voids your printer's warranty…

          @jv: Yes those are the fax.

  • c64 on 07/05/2018 - 19:02

    eating gold leaf is probably cheaper. and as a bonus you can recycle it the next day!

    • alexGoodwin on 07/05/2018 - 19:26

      funny U mentioned that.
      I was drinking gold leaf sake with maiko by my side last time i visited, Surreal experience.

    Good overview video of why saffron is expensive

      Wonder how the first guy even figured it out. That specific part of that specific flower, bet it'll go good in my dish ay

      • outlander on 07/05/2018 - 19:50

        Not that hard. People have eaten or tried to eat just about every item or substance known to man. In this case, the first guy was probably looking for an answer to 'the question'

          glad we don't live in that time anymore. I bet a lot of people had to die before they figured out how to do Fugu correctly. I also wonder at what point or how many people have to die before they decide to stop trying (e.g. how many people died eating fugu before they figured out a method to remove the poisonous part).

          @Name: Many Bothans died to bring us that recipe

        What about Foie gras where the liver of a duck or goose fattened by force-feeding corn with a feeding tube, a process also known as gavage!

    It's a shame country of origin isn't Australia http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2018-04-13/saffron-worlds-m…

    • tik tok on 07/05/2018 - 20:21

      I was surprised to see this on TV. I never knew these guys existed.
      Next time around, I will give them a go and see how they are http://www.tas-saff.com.au/buy-saffron/
      Shari, @Saffron-Store - what is your opinion on these guys ?

      • MilkDrinker on 07/05/2018 - 20:44

        You can see how Australia can't compete in the saffron market if those are the average prices, 13 times the price to get it from an Aussie vendor just isn't competitive.

        • cathole on 07/05/2018 - 20:50

          holy balls, $80,000/kg

        • dufflover on 08/05/2018 - 00:28

          @cathole: $80,000 huh? … so if I bring a 1kg bag of it to work I'll get promoted at Westpac?

  • baldur on 07/05/2018 - 20:24

    Is this an investment tool?

    • Diji1 on 07/05/2018 - 20:42

      Yes. Massive returns as well!

      • ialam99 on 07/05/2018 - 23:07

        better than a high yield investment car?

    Aldi products suck. This is not premium saffron and cheap for reason. U can buy 1g premium saffron online for $7-$8 or $65 for 10 gram.

  • persianoz on 08/05/2018 - 08:16

    I got 100 bottled A grade Saffron from Iran, each 2g. Going for $18.99!! Deal on bulk.

      It's probably just yellowcake dyed red. Expect to get a few agents knocking on your door.

  • spoonmugen on 08/05/2018 - 12:50

    gonna eat paella for 6 mths.

    thanks op.

  • baaz on 08/05/2018 - 13:37

    Don't exactly recollect the price but it was 10-15 times cheaper in Indian store than woolies. I bought it a month or so back from both woolies then in an Indian store.

  • virhlpool on 12/05/2018 - 13:22

    Did anyone find it in Aldi today? I didn't see it.

    • Rosace on 12/05/2018 - 16:25

      Yes just bought at Arndell Park, was opposite to the drinks.

  • fossilgem on 14/05/2018 - 10:45

    Picked up 6 yesterday. Thanks
