Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to buy saffron online?

Yes, from a seller that lists origin and sells whole threads. Powder is easier to adulterate.

How much saffron do I need?

A pinch of threads is enough for most dishes serving four. One gram goes a long way.

What is the difference between Kashmiri and Spanish saffron?

They come from different growing regions. Both are dried Crocus sativus stigmas; flavor and color strength vary by origin and grade.
