Spice Islands Spanish Threads Saffron, Kosher, 0.9 gram

Threads of Saffron are the gold of spices. Precious and rare, Saffron comes from a lovely violet crocus. Only three stigmas, or threads, are hand-picked from each flower. 75,000 flowers are needed to produce one pound of Saffron. Intensely flavored, a single pinch of Saffron pleasantly flavors an entire dish. Use in Italian risotto, paella, Spanish and French seafood stews. Our Spice Islands saffron threads come from Spain, home of the annual Saffron Festival. Deep orange-red in color, the threads are unbroken and dry (not oily). They have a musky, flowery aroma and an earthly warmth with lingering bitter notes. Spice Islands embraces the artisanship of the spice experience by taking extra steps to preserve the rich, authentic flavors found in the world’s herbs and spices.
