@zeroheroes4081 3 ай бұрын

@@keishamaria2870In my opinion, it tastes a lot. And the taste is very distinct that can't be compared to anything else I've ever had. I grew up with it, so I love it but that might not be the case for others. There are often fake synthetic chemicals added in "saffron-goods" because real saffron is so expensive, but personally I can always tell the difference and think the fake stuff taste horrible in comparison. Saffron has many health benefits too and has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. There's been studies that found it to be just as effective as antidepressant, but better because it doesn't have bad side effects like those drugs got. Works on ADHD too... In my country it's consumed during the dark winter through baked goods like bread, candy and cookies. There's one saffron bread that has been made since the 1800s (was made without saffron since the 1600s) that everyone eats at that time and my family eats the bread every day in December too. I've tried growing it but with no success so far, I think mice or birds might be stealing the flowers...

Pro tip from an Iranian: instead of steeping the saffron in hot or tepid water, grind the saffron into a fine powder with the back of a spoon and sprinkle it over an ice cube in a small bowl. I do this every time and it preserves the flavor so much better and also it makes it a beautiful, intense red/ orange color rather than yellow! I like to put it in my tea with cardamom and rose water.

@justinw.7407 Жыл бұрын

If you sprinkle it over an ice cube, I suppose you melt the ice cube once you're ready to use it right? I've never used saffron before, just curious about the method is all.

for us indians saffron is very important, we call it keisar (kesar) we use it in our biryani , traditional sweets and home traditional odor , our tilak for gods and goddesses (Devi Devta ) especially phra narai (Vishnu) our main deity loves saffron most so in every indian home especially in Hindus Buddhists Sikhs and Jain's (no abrahimicans, because they think it's a Hinduism sign) have saffron in their home 🙏

No we don't think it's Hindus sign... Remember it's from Iran, duh 🙄 Edit: since it's offending people: I said it's originated from Iran.... The original comment said the abrahamans don't use saffron since it's Hindus sign.... What I meant to say that it started from Iran meaning christians and Muslims home country were the originators.... So they were the ones who started it... Lol weirdos.... And before you get offended again let me clarify it for you, someone using something doesn't make it their personal thing.... Meaning saffron is not property of Hindus nor the abrahamans

At some point everyone tried something for the first time. What gets me is when people select something from one part of the world, like some bark from a tree which when eaten, does nothing, and in a completely different part of the world they find a seed that when eaten does nothing, but if you crush them both together and do some fancy work you end up with something that takes you to another reality.

But it was enough to make 2 small skillets of the paella(sp?) For my hubby and self. I admit its tasty. But apparently the bulbs/corms are too as something broke the welded 1/4 inch metal mesh bottom and ate every bulb one winter. I had a solid glass top on it over winter to get around the pesky cold. But it was fun to try Artichokes are my next thing to try cuz im in zone 5 and its too cold in winter(mostly). I do have fig trees in pots but they come inside during winter.
