Thank you all.
I went to a small Turkish market and thry didn't have it.
Went to a bigger middle eastern market and they did have the threads behind the counter. They also introduced me to liquid saffron- whichbI ended up getting..

Didn't realize that saffron powder isn't a thing sold in stores. I've had powder at home- which my sister brought back from Dubai. She might have gotten tit ground up beforeshe gave it to me.

Persian friend will hook you up with the best Persian saffron threads or someone passing though Dubai. Sold by the ounce.

Because Saffron powder is not an India thing, plenty of places that are not centered around India (yes this is allowed) have saffron powder.

Ask the cashier or a worker. You won’t find it on the shelf with other spices in the Indian store.

I get mine at the Indian store, or sometimes at Costco.

Agree, threads are the way to go. It is also very expensive so likely secured from shoplifters.

You don’t even need to crush the threads. Just infuse them in hot liquid.

They will have saffron threads in tin boxes behind the counter.

Indian here. You buy threads, and crush them into a powder with a mortar and pestle before infusing them in a liquid for use.
If anyone is selling saffron powder, chances are it's not pure.

An Indian grocery store will also sell saffron threads. I’ve never heard of saffron powder.

You mean the saffron threads? That’s what you should be buying. Penzey’s will have it.
