Taj Mahal Saffron - 4G

Saffron threads, 4g. The dried red stigmas, a deep colour and a floral, honeyed smell. You use threads, not a spoonful. A little stains a pot of rice.

Persian rice, tahdig, biryani, paella and risotto Milanese all take a pinch soaked in warm liquid first. Middle Eastern desserts, sholeh zard and kunafa, use the same threads. The 4g pack is a retail size. A restaurant still buys it because saffron is sold by the gram, not by the kilo, for a reason.

Cool, dry, pack resealed. Do not leave it in the light. Do not buy a jar that smells of nothing. These threads should smell like saffron before you cook.
