Potential Health Benefits of Saffron
Saffron spice, in addition to its uses in traditional Persian cuisine, has numerous medicinal properties due to the high concentration of crocin, one of the natural chemical compounds contained in the plant. Crocin contains an array of antioxidants that provide soothing relief from headaches, pain, or even stress. Saffron is also known for its effects on improving blood circulation, treating gastrointestinal problems, and helping to maintain healthy skin.
Cardamom is a warm spice that helps to maintain balance in the body. It serves as a detoxification agent, helps to improve digestive health, can prevent cold and flu symptoms, and provides relief from nausea or loss of appetite.
The cool damask rosebud also bolsters immunity and its high concentration of vitamin C helps to fight off infections.
How to Use
To bring out the full flavor of saffron, crush saffron threads with a mortar and pestle to reach a powder consistency, adding a few tablespoons of warm water to dissolve the saffron. When the saffron has dissolved, you can add the liquid to whatever you are cooking such as rice.
Alternatively, you can steep two to three saffron stigmas in one cup of hot water. Let the threads steep for about 15 minutes before adding to your food or drink.
