Saffron

Single-Origin Herati Saffron has a beautiful, delicate floral flavor, a golden color, and a warm, honeyed fragrance reminiscent of dried roses and fresh hay. The 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
