Saffron is harvested from the Crocus sativus flower, commonly known as the saffron crocus. The delicate stigmas, or threads, of the flower are handpicked during the brief flowering season. These threads are then carefully dried to preserve their flavor and aroma, resulting in the precious spice known as saffron.

Saffron is a potent spice, so a little goes a long way. For most recipes, a pinch of saffron threads (about 0.1 grams) is sufficient to add flavor and color. However, the amount may vary depending on personal preference and the dish being prepared. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect balance of saffron in your cooking.

To preserve the quality of saffron, it should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing saffron near strong-smelling foods, as it can absorb odors. When stored properly, saffron can maintain its flavor and aroma for up to two years.
