Saffron is known as "the king of spices," and as the world's most expensive spice. Saffron is made from the dried stigmas of the flower species crocus. Each flower of the crocus sativus has only three pistils, and these must be picked by hand. Over 70,000 flowers are required to yield 1 lb. of saffron. It has been used since classical times as a flavoring in food and wine. It is an effective stimulant and digestive, increasing the flow of saliva and digestive juices. The very best saffron is grown in Valencia, Spain. Unlike some saffron, ours is made from the full stems and not ground-up pieces that can easily be adulterated. The price of saffron is dependent on its coloring power (graded categories I to IV with I being the strongest). The Select is Category 1 and the Siera is Category II. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Net Wt. 1g (.035oz) Product of Spain Packaging: Tin Container Product Type: Spice You can also purchase over 10,000 items from our e-commerce store at www.ranisworldfoods.com

Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron

Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron Review



Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron Feature

  • 0.7oz - 19.8g
  • Contains 5 convenient sachets, each enough for a full recipe.
  • The sachets are hermetically sealed in foil-lined pouches to preserve freshness.
  • Each flavor packet contains herbs, spices, and pure Spanish saffron.
5 Sachets of ready-to-use paella seasoning made with pure Spanish Saffron from La Mancha.

Each packet contains an expertly balanced mixture of herbs, spices, and flavor bases to truly complete your paella recipe. In contrast to using a soup base or "bullion," which often contain as much sodium and MSG as they do flavor, this mix specifically blended to add all the flavor with none of the undesired additives. Each of the 5 sachets contain enough seasonings and saffron for most medium sized recipes (simply use 2 for larger paellas.)

This great product comes from Chiquilin, Valencia's premier culinary herb producer. We have personally visited the factory on several occasions and can attest to the purity and quality of this product. Generally, when purchasing pre-powdered saffron and herb mixes you must be cautious that the saffron is not "cut" with other spices to lower the manufacturers cost, but that is not the case with the products from Chiquilin. Their modern facility and strict quality control ensure that the herbs and spices are freshly picked, freshly dried, freshly packed, and freshly delivered to your kitchen.

ExirTM Saffron tea makes a delicious energizing and refreshing herbal tea with a wealth of health benefits. Organic, Contains No caffeine. Saffron comes from the reproductive stigma of Crocus Sativa. Each blossom, containing only three Stigmas per flower, must be hand-picked. It requires several thousand flowers to make one pound of Saffron. Here is a review of Dear Pharmacist, Dr. Suzy Cohen regarding Exir Saffron. Saffron is a super strong antioxidant with "housekeeping" benefits that clean you up from head to toe. Pay attention here because I'm going to summarize the research. Saffron has anti-cancer effects, for all sorts of tumors. It enhances male fertility. It helps relieve anxiety and tension. And ladies, it eases the discomforts of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In Texas, researchers proved that saffron improves circulation to the retina so it's a promising treatment for macular degeneration, a major cause of blindness. One clinical trial concluded "preliminary evidence of a possible therapeutic effect of saffron extract in the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease." It's also an anti-spasmodic. Whew! Do you see why I think Saffron is one of the best kept health secrets?! If you'd like to try a saffron supplement - and I've just begun taking one myself - make sure you buy from a reputable company, such as Exir. I have to warn you, pure authentic saffron is expensive, but worth it. Fake makers of it cut the saffron with other yellow-orange spices but Exir is 100 percent saffron, and they source from organic flowers. It's not popular (yet) so you will need to ask your local health food store to order it, or just buy it online like I did at Epicure Garden.
