The term saffron comes from the Arabic / Persian. Saffron is a crocus species that flowers purple in the fall. The saffron spice is extracted from the pistils of their flowers.

Saffron tastes bitter-tart-hot, which at normal dosage - unlike the typical smell - does not come to fruition, and contains carotenoids, especially Crocin, which are responsible for the fact that saffron-spiced dishes turn intense golden yellow.

To preserve the aromatic scent, saffron should not be cooked too long. It is recommended to soak the scar legs in a little warm water for a few minutes and add the liquid to the dish at the end of the cooking time. An even more intense color is obtained when the saffron threads are freshly mortared.
