Saffron is sold as whole threads, deep red-orange as they come and vibrant yellow once steeped, with a distinctive floral aroma and a slightly bitter edge. A small quantity colors and flavors a large batch, which is why it belongs in paella, risotto alla milanese, Indian biryani and pulao, and Middle Eastern rice and desserts. Threads are steeped in warm liquid before use so both color and aroma spread evenly through the dish rather than sitting in one spot.
Saffron follows the same terms as the rest of the range: bulk only, 50 lb minimum, quoted at the day's market cost. Orders ship from the Los Angeles warehouse by pallet, truckload or container, or can be collected on weekdays from 7am to 3pm. Add Saffron to your quote.
