Potential Health Benefits of Saffron
Saffron can have many significant benefits for the mind and body. The crocin content in the saffron stigma provides an array of antioxidants. These antioxidants aid in reducing headaches, especially those caused by stress or poor diet. Saffron can also provide mood-boosting effects. Saffron helps to improve metabolism and the spice can be used as a weight management supplement. It also aids in increasing immunity against colds and flu and helps to strengthen the bones and joints. The regenerative effects of saffron have also been effective in enhancing eyesight.
How to Use
With a mortar and pestle, grind 2 to 3 saffron threads into a powder form and dissolve in a small amount of warm water to achieve desired color and aroma intensity. Next, add the dissolved mixture to your food. For better grinding, include a pinch of coarse sugar to the saffron.
You may also steep saffron by placing 2 to 3 saffron threads in one cup of hot water (between 160° F/71° C and 170°F/77°C) for about 15 minutes. When the saffron has turned deep orange in color, you can add it to your desired recipe.
