Benefits of Organic Saffron
Saffron has many health benefits. It helps to strengthen the bones and joints and aid in maintaining the immune system. It is rich in vitamin B12 and antioxidants. Saffron also helps to improve mood, reduce stress, and enable a balanced metabolism.
How to Use
Grind the organic saffron threads using mortar and pestle. You can also add a pinch of coarse sugar for better abrasion. After you have reduced the saffron into a fine powder, dissolve the saffron in a small amount of hot water, about 2 tablespoons, to release the color and aroma. When dissolved, add to your food as desired.
Alternatively, steep full saffron stamen in hot water (between 160° F/71° C and 170°F/77°C) for about 15 minutes. After changing to a deep orange color, the liquid is ready to be added to your desired dish.
