Saffron is an important spice commonly used in the Mediterranean, North
African and Asian cuisines and recipes as a colorant and flavoring for rice,
seafood and meat dishes, soups, pastries, cheeses and liquor. Saffron has also
been used as a fabric dye, perfume and medicine for over 3,000 years. Saffron
has a beautiful red-gold color and contributes a rich yellow-orange color when
used in cooking. Saffron has an aroma described as perfumy, resembling that of
honey with a touch of grassy, hay-like and metallic notes. Saffron’s distinct
flavor is considered to be a bit sweet and hay-like with hints of bitterness
and impossible to adequately substitute.
