Saffron is known as 'red gold' for a reason - it's super expensive and oh-so special. This spice has been used in cooking for over 3,000 years because of its beautiful color, delicious flavor, and wonderful smell.

The Story Behind Saffron

How to Use Saffron in Your Cooking

Even though you only need a tiny bit of saffron to totally change the taste of your food, saffron can be used in lots of different dishes. From Spanish paella to French bouillabaisse, saffron adds a special flavor to all kinds of dishes. When you use saffron, be sure to let it soak in warm water or broth first to get all its amazing flavor.

The Best Way to Pick and Store Saffron

When you buy saffron, it's best to get the threads instead of the ground-up kind. The threads keep their flavor for longer. And make sure to keep your saffron in a cool, dark place to keep it fresh and tasty.
