Saffron | Kesar | Kunkumapuva

Saffron is a prized and exotic spice derived from the stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. It is known for its vibrant reddish-orange colour and distinctive flavour. Saffron has been used for centuries in cooking, particularly in Indian, Persian, and Mediterranean cuisines. It imparts a rich and aromatic essence to dishes, making it a luxurious addition to both sweet and savoury recipes. Saffron is also used for its natural dyeing properties, as well as in traditional medicines and beauty treatments due to its potential health benefits and antioxidants. Harvesting saffron is labour-intensive, contributing to its high value. A little saffron goes a long way, as only a small amount is needed to infuse dishes with its unique flavour, colour, and aroma.

Storage

Store saffron in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is best to keep saffron in an airtight container to prevent exposure to air and humidity. You can also store it in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to maintain the quality of saffron.
