Organic saffron, jar 0.5 grams

Organic saffron threads in a glass jar with a cork top. Saffron is an essential ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. It provides a delicious, aromatic flavour, fragrance and deep yellow colour to stews, rice dishes such as paella, pasta, meat, fish and desserts. The threads are the dried stamen of the Saffron crocus. This is the best quality saffron and you only need a few threads to add a lot of flavour, colour and fragrance. Tip: saffron's flavour and colour come out best if you briefly toast the saffron threads in a dry pan before use. Then break them up slightly in your mortar. Soak the saffron for 10 minutes in 2 tbsp of hot water or if so desired, wine or lemon juice.
