Fruterry Pure Saffron Threads

Saffron, the world’s most costly spice (by weight), is derived from the stigma and styles of the Crocus sativus flower. They are also known as strands or threads, and after being harvested from the flower, they are dried and used as a culinary flavor or coloring.

It has a honeyed scent with grassy undertones. Its flavor is deep and subtle, with flowery and earthy undertones.

Strands of saffron are commonly employed in foreign cuisine, particularly in Persian, European, Indian, and Arab dishes. Numerous classic cuisines, including tahdig, paella, and bouillabaisse, include saffron. Saffron must be soaked for its flavor to be released. You may use a mortar and pestle to pound it into a fine powder, then combine it with a few tablespoons of hot (not boiling) water. You may alternatively just soak the threads in hot (not boiling) water and utilize both the threads and the extract in your recipe.
