Saffron in the Kitchen and Everyday Life

Cooking Tips

To fully unleash the saffron’s vibrant color and rich aroma in your recipes (or general use), it’s essential to prepare it correctly. By breaking down the threads, you unlock the spice's concentrated essence, allowing it to evenly infuse your dishes. Here are the 4 key tips to achieve this:

Portioning

A little saffron goes a long way. Use only a few threads per dish to avoid overpowering the flavors.

Crushing

Crushing saffron before soaking it amplifies its effects, making your culinary creations even more luxurious and flavorful.

Saffron can transform your environment into a serene oasis:

• Aromatic Oil Infusion:
  Infuse 8-10 saffron threads into 50ml of your favorite carrier oil (e.g., almond or jojoba oil). Leave it in a warm, dark place for 1-2 weeks, shaking occasionally. Use this luxurious blend for massages or as a calming room fragrance.
