Saffron spice shaker, ground

Saffron in threads

Saffron, by far the most expensive spice in the world. The reason? Saffron is obtained by hand from the flower stigmas of the violet saffron crocus. Each plant contains only three brick-red flower stigmas, the saffron threads. Its aromatic, slightly tart flavor is especially appreciated in paella, light sauces, pilafs, fish and poultry dishes, as well as in yeast dough and cookies, and the yellow color is popular in risotto and numerous desserts such as semolina pudding or rice pudding.

Application
Open the aroma safe and take the desired amount of saffron from the smaller inner tin.
