It is also known as ‘vegetable gold’ or ‘red gold’, though it is more expensive than the precious metal! Spain and the Middle East produce the most saffron, with Middle East growing 90% of all saffron used in the world. It is also grown in some areas of Greece and India. There are even people trying to revive saffron production here in the UK – including in the historical centre of British saffron farming, Saffron Walden in Essex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on where you are in the world, you may see saffron referred to as \u003cem\u003ezafran\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003ezaffran\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ekong, kesram, kesar, \u003c\/em\u003eor \u003cem\u003ejafranekar.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is saffron?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaffron is the stigmas from purple crocus flowers. Each crocus produces only three stigmas, and these must be hand harvested to make sure the delicate strands stay intact. It is this labour-intensive process that dictates much of the price of saffron. That, and the fact that it takes around 150 crocuses to produce a single gram of saffron. The stigmas are then air-dried in the dark and lightly fermented to make them ready to use as a spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaffron threads are a deep, vibrant red-orange colour. Beyond that, they look somewhat unassuming. But saffron is one of the most complex spices out there – and it sometimes seems as though no two people can ever completely agree on what it smells and tastes like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaffron should have a honeyed, almost floral smell. However, you may also notice hay-like aromas, or even more mineral notes as of the sea. Some people perceive saffron as a bitter taste, some pick up on more grassy flavours, and still others will experience honey tones. There are also those who liken saffron to tobacco, or identify notes of cedar, citrus, pepper and even menthol!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have grown up with saffron you are more likely to notice sweeter flavours. If your first experience of saffron is as an adult use it very sparingly indeed, or you may find your first taste too bitter. You will become accustomed to it, so keep experimenting!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I cook with saffron?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith saffron a little goes a very long way. A single small pinch is enough to impart deep, golden yellow colours and distinctively dusky, honey-hay flavours to whole dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis high-quality saffron is typically used in Middle Eastern, Indian and Spanish cuisines. It adds colour and flavour to a multitude of sweet \u0026amp; savoury dishes. For best results, briefly toast a small pinch of saffron in a dry pan. Then steep the strands in warm water, stock or even milk for around 30 minutes. This will release the saffron’s essential oils for better flavour and fragrance, a bit like infusing tea. Add the saffron liquid to your dish towards the end of cooking if it’s a curry, soup, tagine or rice dish. With cakes and breads, use at the usual point in the recipe when wet ingredients are added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaffron rice is a vibrant and fragrant accompaniment to any curry. Then, of course, there’s paella – the eye-catching Spanish rice dish that’s famed for its golden hue. The Italians have also embraced saffron by using it with chicken stock, butter and egg yolk in a rich, velvety risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn France, saffron is a key spice in \u003cem\u003ebouillabaisse\u003c\/em\u003e – a traditional Provençal fish stew. It’s also popularly used to put an exotic, fragrant twist on a classic mussels mariniere. Look to French cuisine to discover how to perfectly pair saffron with fish \u0026amp; shellfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweden, Norway and – perhaps unexpectedly – Cornwall all have variations on saffron bread or buns. The finished bread is sunshine yellow, with the exotic fragrances of saffron, cinnamon and nutmeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn India, saffron milk – or \u003cem\u003ekesar doodh\u003c\/em\u003e – is a classic drink in the summer. It’s very sweet, but the mixture of saffron and cardamom makes it wonderfully fragrant. Here at Sous Chef, we adapted this traditional Indian drink into a bubble tea recipe! Saffron can even be used in a similar way to vanilla in custards and cakes, just remember to be sparing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrand may vary depending on availability\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anjoman","offers":[{"title":"0.6g","offer_id":16896496336954,"sku":"SK0020A","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.3g","offer_id":16896496369722,"sku":"SK0020C","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2g","offer_id":16896496402490,"sku":"SK0020D","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0111\/1729\/7722\/products\/anjoman-saffron.jpg?v=1620130985"},{"product_id":"shichimi-togarashi-spice-mix","title":"Shichimi Togarashi Spice Mix, 15g","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShichimi togarashi is a dry spice blend, mixed from chilli pepper, orange peel, black sesame and white sesame seed, Japanese pepper, ginger and seaweed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditionally, shichimi toagrashi spice mix was sold by Japanese street vendors who would alter the quantities of spices on request. ‘Shichi’ translates as ‘seven’ – describing the number of spices used in this spice mix.
