I'm Just Mad About Saffron

[wiigamer136]

Just to tell ya'll, this spice is from India!

Europeans got rich from it and it is still very expensive.

I hate it when people pronounce PAELLA as pie-ey-ea, it's PAH-EH-YA

@clayto1332 its flavor is like nothing i've tasted before, truly unique! it is the divine flavor, once tasted clouds became tangible so I could step up on them, a true delight for our senses.

balance in its usage is key to its divine flavor, too little will eliminate its culinary significance and too much will over empower its bitterness. the closest i can get in defining it by existing flavors is grassy, metallic, earthy, bitter...

in short, saffron tastes like saffron...

@cjozer What does it taste like?

[eastexotic]

The purple crocus blooms in the spring, but a saffron crocus(Crocus sativus) is a domesticated plant that blooms in the fall.

saffron.one of the most sophisticated spice from the east after sandalwood .its aroma is simply strong enough to describe ,it is used for making almonds mlk in order to give the essential flavour n texture to the milk .medicinal value ,i dun need to say as there are alot of it

[artfuxxingmusic]

Can anyone describe the aroma and taste of saffron? I've never actually had a dish that had them and I'm curious as to why they are so prized. (aside from the fact that they're hand picked, ect.)

[jhof989620]

I dont know either on taste.... but it sounds like every strand is picked from an individual flower...the labor is through the roof!

[mlim23]

well it is like used for just coloring, its used in alot of rices and gives it a buttery taste, well hard to explain, its good.

It's very difficult to describe the smell and taste of saffron. You will have to try it out yourself. I heard they sell them at your local Arabic or Asian stores. But I warn you, they are expensive. It's worth more than gold or diamonds per ounce.

@artfuxxingmusic It's very rare as it only grows in specific parts of teh world such as Kashmir, India; Spain, Iran, and some parts of Greece and Afghanistan. It smells like a sharp yet bitter-sweet summer flower and it is quite strong in its aromatic fragrance. one stigma of this spice explodes on your tongue with a sweet yet slightly bitter tang. If bitten into, the bitterness overwhelms the sweetness; less than a gram of saffron can flavour an entire dish for four with a very pleasant taste.

@TheOlympians It is not rare, it is just labor intensive. It grows pretty much anywhere there is high soil temperature in Summer and can also grow in frost zones. Iran produces 95% (220 tonnes) of the world supply, and Greece, Brazil, Spain, Italy, India, Australia, New Zealand, to name a few countries, grow the balance.
