To prevent the threads from losing their potency, keep the glass vial in a cool, dark, and dry cupboard. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use; if exposed to air for too long, the threads can become brittle and lose their characteristic \"hay-like\" fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ellora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56839711916380,"sku":null,"price":3.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/2183\/6124\/files\/ellora-premium-saffron-1g-cat-i-198.webp?v=1788220763","url":"https:\/\/gopalgrocers.co.uk\/products\/ellora-saffron-1gm","provider":"Gopal Indian Grocers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
