Potential Health Benefits
Saffron has many benefits not only on the body but also on the mind. Many of the benefits come from crocin, an antioxidant-rich chemical compound found in the saffron stigma. Crocin aids in reducing headaches, especially those caused by stress or poor diet, while also providing mood-boosting effects. Saffron can be used as a weight management supplement as it may promote satiety. 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
Ground Saffron Instructions: First, grind the saffron stigmas into a fine powder consistency by using a mortar and pestle. To have better abrasion, you may add a pinch of coarse sugar to the saffron while grinding it. Next, you can dissolve the ground saffron in a small amount of hot water, about 2 tablespoons, to release the color and aroma. Increase the water amount as necessary for larger amounts of saffron. When dissolved, add to your food as desired.
Steep Instructions: Alternatively, saffron stigmas can be steeped in hot water (between 160° F/71° C and 170°F/77°C) for about 15 minutes. Once the liquid has changed to a deep orange color, add the saffron to your desired dish or served in a drink. For tea or herbal tea beverages, you may steep the saffron along with your tea.
