Information for saffron in our free cooking ingredients collection.

Saffron

One of the most expensive spices, this golden red spice is made from the powdery stigma of a purple-flowered crocus.

Saffron is used for soups, seafood, poultry, and rice dishes. It is a popular seasoning in Indian, Italian, and Spanish cuisine. It also can be added to baked goods. Saffron needs to be dissolved in a teaspoon or so of warm water before use. Powdered saffron may have other ingredients added to it, and these reduce its flavor.
