0.50 Gram - NH Grown Saffron

Saffron is the most valuable spice in the world.  Saffron comes from the red strigmas of the beautiful purple crocus sativus.  
 
Our saffron is grown organically and hand-planted, harvested, processed, and packaged on our family farm in NH.  
 
Saffron has a very subtle flavor and aroma.  Saffron reflects an earthy and grassy flavor yet it has sweet floral and honey notes.  The red stigmas add a yellow-golden hue to any dish.  
 
Saffron is sensitive to light.  Store in a cool, dark place as you would most spices and oils to maintain potency.  
 
Steep a pinch of crushed stigmas in hot water for several minutes.  The stigmas will release a yellow hue.  Add the water and stigmas to your recipe.
