Funny thing about buying saffron is the difference in quality. Some boxes are all red, while others have a lot of white. Tip: all red is better!

the Crocus flower is my favorite Spring time flower. It is an indication of wonderful things to come. My mother has them growing in the garden beds around the house, but clearly not enough. The spice it creates is also a favorite and I find the expense to be well worth it.

That was a great video. I’ve always wondered where the saffron strands came from. I’ve also wondered how many you need to really impact a dish, like a curry. I’ve been using about 10 strands and I’m not sure its having any affect. Also, are you supposed to soak them before hand?

An excellent ingredient and perfume but obviously must be expensive
