Herati Saffron Spice & Seasoning

Our uncommonly delicate Herati Saffron threads have a beautiful delicate floral flavor, golden color and warm, honeyed fragrance reminiscent of dried roses and fresh hay. The saffron is harvested by a cooperative of farmers. They carefully pull the threads from the flower, leaving a characteristic flame-colored tail, and sun-dry them. Saffron is a key element in sweet and savory cuisines from the Mediterranean to South Asia. It adds a distinctive floral flavor and golden color to fragrant rice dishes like paella, risotto and biryani, to frozen desserts like ice cream and kulfi, and to teas.

Cooking Tips:

• Steep a few threads in warm water when making crunchy baked rice
• Add a pinch of threads when making paella
• Fold into buttery bread, cake or cookie doughs 
• Steep in cream for a rich pasta sauce
