Why Saffron Rewards Careful Preparation

Saffron comes from the dried pistils of Crocus sativus. Its small crimson threads are valued in cooking for the golden color, distinctive aroma, and layered taste they can bring to rice, soups, sauces, desserts, and drinks. Use the amount specified by your recipe and prepare it carefully for an even infusion.
