The term "saffron" originates from Arabic/Persian sources. Saffron is a type of crocus that blooms purple in the autumn. The spice saffron is extracted from the pistils of its flowers.
Saffron has a bitter, tart, and spicy taste, which – unlike its typical aroma – is not noticeable at normal dosages. It contains carotenoids, especially crocin, which are responsible for the intense golden yellow coloration of dishes seasoned with saffron.
To preserve its aromatic fragrance, saffron shouldn't be cooked for too long. It's recommended to soak the saffron stigmas in warm water for a few minutes and then add them to the dish with the liquid toward the end of cooking. An even more intense color can be achieved by grinding the saffron threads fresh in a mortar and pestle.
