Saffron Powder 0.125g

Saffron powder is a finely ground spice derived from the dried stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, commonly known as the saffron crocus. This powder is highly prized for its vibrant golden-yellow color, distinct aroma, and rich flavour. The aroma of saffron powder is often described as a complex blend of sweet, floral, and earthy notes, with a slightly honey-like scent. Its flavor is equally unique, offering a warm, slightly bitter taste with subtle undertones of hay and a hint of metallic sharpness.

Due to the labor-intensive process of harvesting saffron, where each stigma is hand-picked from the flower, saffron powder is one of the most expensive spices in the world. A small amount of saffron powder is enough to infuse dishes with its characteristic color and flavor. It is widely used in cuisines from around the world, particularly in Middle Eastern, Indian, Mediterranean, and Spanish dishes, such as paella, biryani, and bouillabaisse. Saffron powder is also used in desserts, where it adds an exotic flavour and a striking colour to sweets and confections.
