What is Saffron?

Saffron is a rich red coloured spice that's high in health-promoting compounds, such as carotenoid antioxidants. Research findings suggest saffron has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and may improve heart health, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve sleep, protect and improve eye health, reduce appetite and aid weightloss, lower blood sugar levels, improve memory in adults suffering with Alzheimer’s disease and may reduce PMS symptoms. 

About Saffron

During the harvest season, which starts around mid-October, everyday hundreds of people get up before dawn to go to the fields and pick the beautiful delicate lilac colour flowers that have bloomed overnight. They must be picked before being exposed to too much sunshine. The flowers are then carried in wicker baskets to a processing areas where the stigmas are patiently removed by hand. 

How to Use Saffron

In order to get the most out of saffron, it is highly recommended to first grind the saffron threads using a mortar and pestle into powder, then soak in a warm water for at least 10 minutes. Always add saffron at the last stage of cooking to fully maintain the aroma, flavour and colour of the saffron. 

Saffron is generally safe for most people and easy to add to your diet. Try incorporating saffron into your favorite dishes to take advantage of its potential health benefits!

How to Store Saffron

Always store in a, dark, dry cool place to maintain flavour and aroma of the saffron.
