Finest saffron
Take a few strands of saffron and rub them between your fingers. If the colour on your fingers is
orange-reddish, then, it is not the best quality. Finest saffron will leave a yellowish or golden stain on
your fingers.
Provenance
Saffron comes from a flower called Saffron Crocus (Crocus Sativus). There are hundreds of different
types of this flower that bloom in autumn, but only a few have the crimson-coloured stigma that is
used as saffron spice.
Zeus was said to sleep on a bed of saffron
In Greek mythology, Zeus is said to sleep on a bed of saffron. Cleopatra was known to mix saffron in
milk to bathe and maintain beautiful soft skin and a natural tan. Saffron was also used as a dye for
the textiles of kings, queens and high priests in ancient times.
Exotic aroma
The precious spice has a strong exotic aroma and a slightly bitter taste. It is traditionally used to
flavour special dishes and sweets in Asian and Mediterranean cuisines. Some like to consume it as an
herbal infusion or add it to their regular tea for the flavourful aroma.
