Heera Saffron 2gm

The stigma of a type of crocus, saffron threads have a pungent and distinctive aroma and flavor - slightly bitter, a little musty, and with a suggestion of something floral. Each crocus produces just three stigmas, which are hand-picked and then dried, and it takes thousands of stigmas to make just one ounce of the spice. To draw out the color and to ensure that it's evenly distributed throughout the dish it's to be added to, steep saffron threads in a little warm water, stock, milk, or white wine for about 30 minutes before using.
