Chiquilin Smoked Paprika Tin 2.64oz Feature

• 2.64oz - 74.8g
• This gourmet product is made in Spain

Pimenton Ahumado - Rich and complex with Smokey overtones, this paprika is the foundation for many Spanish dishes. Use this paprika to develop rich flavors on meat and seafood dishes.

This gourmet quality paprika is far superior to the bland Hungarian or Domestic varieties available at your local supermarket. The Fresh pods from the mild Nora Pepper are smoked over oak logs to develop the flavors. This technique brings out different aspects of the peppers complex flavor, thus we suggest trying out at least two different varieties in your cooking. Peppers smoked over an oak fire develop into a rich and complex palate which is much more powerful and pronounced than in our sun-dried varieties.

We suggest Sweet and Hot Varieties for sauces, vegetables, fish, eggs, and French Fries. We suggest the Bittersweet and Smoked varieties for Paella, Fabada, beef, lamb, or for use on the grill.

As with saffron, pimenton releases its flavor when heated. Sprinkled over a colorless dish, the pimenton will liven up the color without changing the flavor. Adding to a cooking recipe, the flavor will be released to infuse the dish with complex flavors.

One important note: The sugar content of pimenton is very high, thus you must be cautious not to overcook the spice or it will burn. Add to a cooking dish only when liquids are present, and then keep a watchful eye if using high heat.

La Mancha Saffron Gift Tin Feature

• 1oz - 28.3g
• Pure Spanish saffron hand-picked in La Mancha Spain.
• La Mancha saffron is renowned to be the highest quality in the world.
• 100% pure Spanish saffron with no additives.
• All natural and grown without pesticides or fertilizers.

Decorative gift tin containing ultra-quality saffron threads.

Contains 1 ounce! That's a whole lot of saffron!

La Mancha Saffron (azafran) is the best quality available. Hand harvested from the crocus sativus flower, this is the absolutely indispensable ingredient in Spanish cooking. The Saffron from La Mancha accounts for a small portion of the world's production, but the quality is unmistakably superior to that grown in Turkey, Iran, and India. These Deep red threads (stigma) contain no waste or white plant parts (styles) that reduce the quality or add to cost; only the best of the best in our products!

Tips for use of Saffron:
Pimenton or Turmeric can mimic the color of saffron, but the wonderful flavor is unique to this prized spice.
We recommend 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Saffron threads be added to a recipe that serves 6-8 people.
Saffron releases it's flavor when heated, thus it is important to add the saffron before the dish is done cooking.
You may add the saffron directly to the dish, or infuse it in warm liquid to release the flavor. Feel free to experiment by making a saffron "tea" by using water, broth, or wine to add to your favorite recipe.
Some traditional recipes recommend gently toasting the saffron in a skillet (being careful not to burn) and then grinding prior to adding to the dish.
Powdered saffron has half the volume of thread saffron; 1/2 teaspoon of threads is about 1/4 teaspoon powder.

Indian Spice Saffron 2gm Feature

• Saffron May Have Still More Health Benefits
• Can Saffron Help to Prevent Cancer?
• Its food color

Saffron. . Saffron is also cultivated in India, Turkey, China and Iran. The name is from the Arabic word zafaran which means 'yellow'. The French culinary term safrané means 'coloured using saffron'. colIts ouring properties have been as prized as its unique flavour. In India its colour is considered the epitome of beauty and is the official colour of Buddhist robes. Saffron was used to scent the baths and public halls of Imperial Rome.Spice Description Saffron is the three stigmas of the saffron crocus. They are delicate and thread-like, each measuring 2.5 - 4 cm (1 -1.5 in). Its colour is a bright orange-red, and in high quality saffron this is uniform. Saffron bearing white streaks or light patches is inferior and when light specks appear in its powdered form it suggests adulteration. Bouquet: Strongly perfumed, with an aroma of honey Flavour: A pungent bitter-honey taste Because of its expense, intense flavour, and strong dying properties, very little saffron is required for culinary purposes and the key is to distribute it evenly throughout the dish being prepared. It can be crushed to a fine powder in a mortar and pestle. It is easier however, to steep the saffron in hot water- a pinch to a cup will create the desired flavour and colour. Culinary Uses Saffron appears in Moorish, Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Its most common function is to colour rice yellow, as in festive Indian pilaus and risotto Milanese, where its delicate flavour make it the most famous of Italian rice dishes. It combines well with fish and seafood, infamous as a key ingredient of Spanish paella as well as bouillabaisse. In England, saffron is probably best known for its use in Cornish saffron buns where it is paired with dried fruit in a yeast cake. It has been recognized of value as an antispasmodic, diaphoretic, carminative, emmenagogic and sedative

Saffron, Red threads Superior Quality, The Worlds Most Exotic Spice is the Most Beneficial to Health Feature

• Net Weight: 5-grams/0.176 oz, 12 Serving++.
• Exir Saffron quality exceeds the ISO 3632-1 Category I standards, the highest ranking available with superior and exquisite flavor, aroma, and color.
• Pure and Natural, No Artificial coloring, No Preservatives.
• Besides the culinary use of Saffron it has Anti- Tumor, Anti-Spasmodic, Antioxidant and Apoptotic properties and may be beneficial for; Anxiety, Stress, Tension, Cardiovascular disorder, Cellular regeneration.
• Digestive upset, Improve Memory, Male Impotency & Vitality, Menstrual disorder, PMS, Mood & Energy enhancer, Vascular disorder, Vision Loss (AMD).

From seasoned epicurean to new connoisseur, the experience and essence of ExirTM Saffron Stigma and Powder is inspirational. Saffron powder is the choice of busy chefs and equally exquisite to stigma in color, ?avor and aroma. Here is a review of Dear Pharmacist, Dr. Suzy Cohen regarding Exir Saffron. Saffron imparts a distinctive taste and aroma along with a lovely yellow color to a variety of exotic dishes. I stir it into rice, soups and teas. As a pharmacist who pays attention to alternative remedies, I can't help but note that any herb that's been used for centuries likely has something going for it. Sure enough, researchers are starting to verify the amazing healing potential of saffron in clinical studies. Saffron is a super strong antioxidant with "housekeeping" benefits that clean you up from head to toe. Pay attention here because I'm going to summarize the research. Saffron has anti-cancer effects, for all sorts of tumors. It enhances male fertility. It helps relieve anxiety and tension. And ladies, it eases the discomforts of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In Texas, researchers proved that saffron improves circulation to the retina so it's a promising treatment for macular degeneration, a major cause of blindness. One clinical trial concluded "preliminary evidence of a possible therapeutic effect of saffron extract in the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease." It's also an anti-spasmodic. Whew! Do you see why I think Saffron is one of the best kept health secrets?! If you'd like to try a saffron make sure you buy from a reputable company, such as Exir. I have to warn you, pure authentic saffron is expensive, but worth it. Fake makers of it cut the saffron with other yellow-orange spices but Exir is 100 percent saffron, and they source from organic flowers. It's not popular (yet) so you will need to ask your local health food store to order it, or just buy it online like I did at Epicure Garden.

Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron

Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron Review

Paella Seasoning Sachets with Saffron Feature

• 0.7oz - 19.8g
• Contains 5 convenient sachets, each enough for a full recipe.
• The sachets are hermetically sealed in foil-lined pouches to preserve freshness.
• Each flavor packet contains herbs, spices, and pure Spanish saffron.

5 Sachets of ready-to-use paella seasoning made with pure Spanish Saffron from La Mancha.

Each packet contains an expertly balanced mixture of herbs, spices, and flavor bases to truly complete your paella recipe. In contrast to using a soup base or "bullion," which often contain as much sodium and MSG as they do flavor, this mix specifically blended to add all the flavor with none of the undesired additives. Each of the 5 sachets contain enough seasonings and saffron for most medium sized recipes (simply use 2 for larger paellas.)

This great product comes from Chiquilin, Valencia's premier culinary herb producer. We have personally visited the factory on several occasions and can attest to the purity and quality of this product. Generally, when purchasing pre-powdered saffron and herb mixes you must be cautious that the saffron is not "cut" with other spices to lower the manufacturers cost, but that is not the case with the products from Chiquilin. Their modern facility and strict quality control ensure that the herbs and spices are freshly picked, freshly dried, freshly packed, and freshly delivered to your kitchen.
