The house
Bought at source.
Shipped from Dubai.
Panahandeh Foodstuff Trading L.L.C is a Dubai trading house. We buy saffron, rice, pulses, beans and spices at origin, grade them before they are packed, consolidate them at Jebel Ali and issue the documents the destination market asks for.
Saffron from Khorasan, chickpeas from Anatolia, lentils from the Kazakh steppe. We buy in season and at source, because that is the only point where quality is still a choice.
The company operates from Dubai, an hour’s road from Jebel Ali, so a lot bought at origin can be graded, packed and stuffed without changing hands twice.
Nine lines are named on this site. Saffron and rice ship today; the remaining seven are listed because they are next in the range.
