All red filaments with a deep crimson red for rich coloring It is sought by both professional Chefs and home cooks for it flavor and coloring properties. Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the "saffron crocus". Saffron crocus grows to 20-30 cm and bears up to four flowers, each with three vivid crimson stigmas, which are the distal end of a carpel.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 recipes suggest gently toasting the saffron in a skillet (careful not to burn) and then grinding prior to adding to the dish.

How many teaspoons are in 1 gram?** A: I just found this too: One teaspoon of saffron threads is equivalent to approximately 1/8 teaspoon ground saffron. 1 gram of threads = approx 12 threads = 2 teaspoons of threads = 1 teaspoon crumbled = 1/2 teaspoon powdered Either way, I would carefully add one or two strings at a time. They also say you should soak it first in warm water to get the full flavor of it. All I know is that I went by the recipe and it was WAAAAAY TOO much. Good luck **Q: Is this organic and where was it harvested?** A: I have no way of verifying that it is organic, but the seller, SloFood Group is a reliable company and I believe their claim about that. The same goes for their claim of its origin- they say it's Persian (from Iran) and I believe them. Most of the world's saffron is produced in Iran, probably because it's better. This product is definitely fresher and works better in my recipes, so I'll continue to use and enjoy it. **Q: Is this product approved by the FDA?** A: Hi Alex, thanks for your question.
