Description
Now even better! Our latest delivery of saffron has the strongest flavour and best colour of any we have tried!
Sunrize Saffron - Superior Spanish Saffron - bright orange red - intense flavour - the most precious spice in the world - The Saffron filaments, or threads, are the dried stigmas of the saffron flower, "Crocus Sativus Linneaus". Each flower contains only three stigmas. These must be picked from each flower by hand, and more than 75,000 of these flowers are needed to produce just one pound of Saffron filaments, making it the world’s most expensive spice.
The Sunrize Fact-ory
Ancient Mediterranean peoples, including perfumers in Egypt, physicians in Gaza, townspeople in Rhodes and the Greek hetaerae courtesans, used saffron in their perfumes, ointments, potpourris, mascaras, divine offerings, and medical treatments.
Usage
Saffron adds a luminous yellow-orange colouring to foods. Widely used in Arab, Central Asian, European, Indian, Iranian, and Moroccan cuisines. Great in Risotto, with fish, seafood - especially paella and bouillabaisse, Cornish saffron buns and breads.
*Use sparingly - can be crushed or can steep in hot water to add to rice etc. A pinch to 1/2pt water will ensure flavour and colour and is enough for 1lb of rice
Storage requirements
Store in a cool dry dark place and once opened keep in an airtight container for no more than 6 months.
