Saffron
Deep red saffron threads and ground saffron – the red gold that gives colour, aroma and flavour to saffron rice, Lucia buns, paella and desserts. Here you'll also find nabat, Persian saffron rock candy for tea.
Saffron is the world's most expensive spice – but a little goes a long way. In Persian and Indian cuisine saffron is used in rice and desserts, in Sweden in Lucia buns and saffron cake.
Tip: Grind the threads with a pinch of sugar and steep them in a few tablespoons of warm water for 15 minutes before adding – that brings out the most colour and flavour.
