Description
Saffron powder. Pile of ground saffron powder. Saffron is produced from the bright red stigmas of saffron flowers (Crocus sativa). Stigmas are part of the female reproductive structure of the flower (although Crocus sativa is sterile and must be propagated through corms). Saffron powder is used to colour and flavour food. Saffron may also be taken as a herbal remedy to treat indigestion, rheumatism and colds. Historically, it was used to make dyes for paints and fabrics. Saffron is one of the most expensive herbs because of the time and labour involved in picking the flowers and separating the stigmas.
