Saffron is the dried yellow stigmas of the violet flowers of Crocus sativus, a member of the Iris family. The stigmas must be harvested by hand and it takes 225,000 of them to make one pound of saffron. Saffron has a strong perfume and a bitter, honey-like taste. The taste is pleasantly spicy and bitter and the odor is tenacious. Saffron is mainly used as a colorant and flavoring for cheeses, pastry, rice, and seafood dishes; and in spice blends for paella, curry, kheer, and bouillabaisse. Saffron is native to the Mediterranean and is grown in Spain, France, Portugal, India, and Italy. Spain is considered the premium source of saffron. Its flavor is distinctive and agreeable in character.
