DESCRIPTION: Saffron pistils. It is a plant with a characteristic taste that is much loved in the kitchen because, in addition to colouring the dishes yellow, it enhances the flavour. It marries well with rice, fish and crustaceans and also wet meat dishes. READY TO EAT.
METHOD OF USE: Soak in water or broth for a few hours, until the pistils turn white. Or, enclose the pistils in baking paper and rub with a spoon until they crumble. So as to not lose the perfume, it is recommended to add them at the end of cooking.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store in a cool, dry place, away from the light.
WHY choose ERBE DEIDRATATE SAFFRON : Our aromatic herbs are grown in the open, receiving all of the necessary nutrients and energy from the sun and the earth in order to grow luxuriantly and to acquire an unmistakable aroma and perfume. They are constantly monitored and controlled by our experts and cultivated in a GENUINE and CLEAN manner. The harvesting of the saffron is repeated every morning at dawn, before the sunlight opens up the flowers, for the whole flowering period between the second half of October and the first on November. The work is carried out by hand. The dehydration process is done in a conscious manner in order to keep the characteristics of the pistils unchanged, as you can tell from the intensity of the colour and perfume.
