Heera Saffron Threads 2g – The World's Most Precious Spice in Your Hands

Saffron has been regarded as the gold of spices for millennia – and for good reason. Each tiny crimson thread is hand-harvested from the Crocus sativus flower, and it takes up to 150,000 flowers to produce just one kilogram of genuine saffron. This time-consuming craft is what makes saffron the world's most expensive spice and one of the most revered ingredients in culinary history.

Heera Saffron Threads 2g contains authentic, high-quality Spanish saffron – renowned for its deep ruby-red colour, powerful aroma and ability to give dishes a beautiful golden hue. Spanish saffron (from the La Mancha region) is considered alongside Iranian saffron as the finest in the world.

Uses:

• Rice & pasta: Classic paella, risotto Milanese or Persian saffron rice (Tahdig)
• Desserts: Saffron custard, Indian Kheer and Gulab Jamun
• Tea & drinks: Saffron tea with honey and cardamom – a Persian classic
• Soups & stews: Bouillabaisse, Moroccan tagine and Persian Khoresh stews
• Bread & pastries: Saffron buns, saffron bread and Oriental sweets

Tip for best results: Soak the threads in a little warm water or milk for 15–20 minutes before cooking. This releases the golden colour and full aroma to best effect.
