Elevating the everyday is our mission. At Belovedsaffron.com, we think the world deserves more than conventional cuisines — and more than take-out from chains. Our goal is to celebrate cultural flavours through spices, herbs and organic food from sustainable farming.

Saffron is our love affair; a culinary crescendo that evokes a warmth of its own. But cooking is so much more than a single ingredient — it’s also about respect. It’s about respecting people from different cultures who dedicate their lives to creating something extraordinary with every dish they serve; family meals or five-star restaurants alike.

And that’s why we’re inviting everyone to join us – to share their recipes, explore new flavors and be part of something special. We know everyone has something delicious to offer!

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ...

Frequently Asked Questions

Is organic meat healthier?

This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.

Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.

However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.

Organic meats can be more expensive that those from conventionally raised animals. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.

Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.

Deals are another way to cut costs. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.

Consuming less meat is another way to save cash. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.

There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.

Why should I choose organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Make healthy food choices.

The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.

What is organic meat?

Organic meat is organic food that has been grown naturally without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or hormones. It also means that the animals weren't fed any genetically modified feed. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.

Organic meats are good for the environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. Organic farmers are less likely to use toxic chemicals to kill birds or insects. This helps protect wildlife.

You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Buying local helps keep more money circulating within the community rather than going out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.

What are the health benefits of organic foods?

Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.

Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.

There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.

Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.

Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.

Many people are concerned that organic food is more expensive than regular foods. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.

But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.

So should you go organic?

It depends on what kind of person you are. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.

You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. Organic food is safer than traditional commercial produce, as they are not subject to chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Organic agriculture helps to protect the environment by conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity.

What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?

Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices improve soil health and water quality as well as animal welfare.

Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
