Description

Saffron tastes floral and earthy-sweet and is used in a variety of delicious recipes. The saffron spice is made up of red threads with a thin yellow tendril on one end and what looks like a flute on the other side. It’s a subtle spice with major health benefits. Some favorites uses are in rice dishes, paella, cakes, teas, or cocktails.
