Saffron is the world's most expensive spice, because obtaining it from individually harvested crocus pistils is extremely labor-intensive; it takes as many as 170000 flowers for 1 kilogram of saffron. Fortunately, a pinch is enough to add color and flavor to a large dish. Good saffron should be a year old at the most and characterized by its bright orange color. It has a strong aroma and a pungent, slightly bitter taste. As a spice, saffron comes in two forms: strands and powder. Just a few strands of saffron added to dishes give them an intense yellow color and a specific, delicate, slightly bitter aftertaste.

Usage:

Saffron is an ideal seasoning for rice, seafood, soups and cakes. It is added to cheeses, curries, spirits and meat dishes. The smell of saffron is reminiscent of honey with a hay-like aftertaste and a metallic note, slightly tart. Oriental dishes - Asian, Arabic or Mediterranean cuisine. It blends well with basil and oregano. Saffron colors dishes yellow. And too much saffron makes the dish bitter.

Experienced culinary experts, before adding saffron to a dish, break saffron strands and soak them in water or sherry for about 10 minutes. And then they add the saffron and the liquid in which it was soaked to the dish. Then the saffron blends better with the whole dish - evenly distributing its flavor and color in the dish. Powdered saffron does not need to be soaked beforehand.
