Ingredients: Saffron Threads

Saffron is the golden stigma of the purple fall crocus and is the world's most expensive spice. The value of this spice is derived from the fact that it is such a labor-intensive crop. Only five to seven pounds of saffron can be produced from each acre of land. The flavor of saffron, however, is very concentrated. One gram of saffron is enough to flavor forty servings of saffron rice or two large batches of paella.

Cooking Ideas
It has been in use in the preparation of sweet dishes in many Indian, Pakistani, and Cental Asian countries. Use Saffron to make risotto alla Milanese, Spanish paella and to flavoured ice cream.
