Description

Saffron is known as "the king of spices," and as the world's most expensive spice. Saffron is made from the dried stigmas of the flower species crocus. Each flower of the crocus sativus has only three pistils, and these must be picked by hand. Over 70,000 flowers are required to yield 1 pound of saffron. It has been used since classical times as a flavoring in food and wine. It is an effective stimulant and digestive, increasing the flow of saliva and digestive juices. The very best saffron is grown in Valencia, Spain. Unlike some saffron, ours is made from the full stems and not ground-up pieces that can easily be adulterated. The price of saffron is dependent on its coloring power (graded categories i to iv with i being the strongest). The select is category 1 and the sierra is category ii. Review: Real deal....real Spanish Saffron - Real deal......I have a friend who goes to Spain frequently...he always brings me back saffron....for the last 20 years....when I run out this is what I use. .......so I know the real deal.....not that Afghani crap thats grown in camel dung.....that it is 'desertcart's Choice'.....puzzles me....you don't have to a cowboy to know when you stepped in camel dung.... Review: Happy so far! - Arrived today well packaged. I prefer the storage container of the Costco saffron which i typically buy but it has not been in stock recently. Wonderful fragrance. Best by date 2029! I love these long strands that are not brittle. They almost need to be torn rather than crushed. I Want to make more paella and golden milk but currently adding saffron to my morning matcha latte for brain boost and anti oxidents. There were some yellow stigmas (?) as seen in the photos....the two gram can size is shown
