Saffron, a reddish-orange spice derived from the dried stigmas of the saffron crocus flower (Crocus sativus), is highly valued for its golden color, sweet-savory flavor, and medicinal properties. Harvesting is labor-intensive, requiring about 500 stigmas from 160 flowers to produce just 1 gram, which keeps its price high. Rich in antioxidants and health-promoting compounds, even a pinch of saffron can significantly enhance a dish. To use, steep saffron in a small amount of warm liquid for at least 20 minutes to release its full flavor and color.
