About 150 saffron flowers produce 1 gram premium saffron. 225,000 saffron flowers produce about 1 pound superior saffron. Saffron is simply the king of spices and known as red gold. Saffron must be harvested only by hand on daily bases for about a month before sun light and heat burn the saffron stigma. Saffron is used in variety of Persian, Spanish, Italian and seafood dishes. it is growing in Khorasan Iran, Aragon Spain, Greece, India and Turkey. Saffron Stigma is about 2 inches and our premium saffron has only the top portion of saffron stigma. We recommend to use 3 stigmas on daily bases for health benefits. For cooking infuse 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads into warm water and let sit for about 10 minutes. You will see the saffron color start releasing from the stigmas. 1 gram of saffron is enough to prepare a dish for 4 to 6 people. Saffron threads should always have the shape of a trumped. It should never loose it's shape or color (thread turning white) once infused into water, otherwise it's fake saffron.
