Saffron
Saffron is the most expensive spice
in the world (anything below 4 € per
gram is suspiciously cheap;
probably smuggled” or “probably
not saffron at all”)
The name saffron comes from
arabic, here the spice is known as za’fran [زعفران]
derives from a Semitic root “become yellow”
properties make it very valuable:
Coloring power: gives a yellowish color to meals, which enhances them
making them look more appetizing.
Flavor: the flavor of saffron is unique. Used in the correct quantity, gives
the dish a slightly bitter and earthy taste that makes it delicious.
Aroma: The aroma of saffron is very appealing. No wonder it was used as
a perfume in the antiquity.
