Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, now in affordable high quality packaging available through Spice Republic. Saffron is often used to season Spanish Paella, Italian Risotto, Mexican rice, soups, sauces for poultry and fish as well as Indian desserts. Saffron threads are stigma of crocus flowers (Crocus Sativus) collected by labor intensive harvest. On average one crocus flower produces only 3 threads, taking about 150 flowers to produce just a mere 1 gram of saffron. The dried saffron is deep red/orange in color and gives yellow/orange color to dish. Just a few strands of saffron impart its characteristic unique aroma to dishes. To get the best flavor out of saffron grind the saffron (optional), soak in slightly warm water, and add at the end of the cooking. Saffron gives a distinctive flavor but in excess it gives bitter almond-like taste.
