Herati Saffron - Single Origin Spice & Seasoning

Our Herati Saffron has a beautiful delicate floral flavor, golden color and warm, honeyed fragrance reminiscent of dried roses and fresh hay. Our saffron threads are pulled carefully from the flower, which leaves a characteristic flame-colored tail. That slight gradation in color is your assurance that our saffron is 100% pure and never dyed or otherwise adulterated. The threads are also uncommonly delicate. Saffron is a key element in cuisines from the Mediterranean to South Asia and is used in both sweet and savory preparations. It adds a distinctive floral flavor and golden color to fragrant rice dishes like paella, risotto and biryani, to frozen desserts like ice cream and kulfi, and to traditional teas. Cooking Tips: Steep a few threads in warm water when making crunchy baked rice Add a pinch of threads when making paella Fold into buttery bread, cake or cookie doughs Steep in cream for a rich pasta sauce.
