Persian Saffron

Stephen from New Lynn

Hi Neighbours. A good friend of mine has just come back from Iran and brought with him some of the finest quality Persian Saffron.

I have 4.5 gram packages in a very nice bottle (pictured) for $32 + postage (unless you'd like to pickup). In the shops you'll pay around $43.

Below is some information about Saffron and its benefits. I also have quite a number of recipes if you're interested.

If you'd like some or want more information please message me here or email me steve@sanfa.co.nz.

Cheers,
Stephen

What Are The Benefits Of Using Saffron?

Aside from being the most flavourful spice in the world, the benefits of Saffron exceed that of any other spice.
One benefit of saffron that people experience is a boost in their overall mood. This occurs because saffron acts on the serotonin receptors in the brain, responsible for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.
When consumed regularly, Persian saffron can increase serotonin levels, improving overall mood and decreasing common symptoms associated with anxiety and depression.

Other benefits of fresh saffron include:

Persian saffron has natural pain relieving properties

The highest quality organic saffron can improve memory and concentration

Persian Saffron acts as a natural alternative to increasing the libido in both men and women

Premium Persian saffron has a variety of Vitamins, Minerals, and Anti-Oxidants

The highest quality organic saffron acts as an Anti-inflammatory

Persian Saffron promotes healthy sleep patterns by helping you get to sleep faster and staying asleep longer.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
