FAQs

How much Saffron should I use?

A little goes a long way. For most dishes, 5–10 threads are enough to impart color, aroma, and flavor. Start small - you can always add more.

How should I prepare Saffron for cooking?

For best results, gently steep the threads in warm (not boiling) water, milk, or broth for 10–15 minutes before adding to your dish. This allows the flavor and color to fully bloom.

How should Saffron be stored?

Store Saffron in its container, away from light, heat, and moisture. When properly stored, it retains its quality for years.

Is Saffron suitable for both savory and sweet dishes?

Absolutely. Saffron adds depth and warmth to risottos, stews, and seafood, while also enhancing desserts like pastries, custards, and syrups.
