Whether you like the flavors in Indian foods or not no one can not like the beauty of saffron.
Gathered from the field and piled high in a basket just increases the intensity of its color.

Just the other day I found out it takes 75000 blooms for a pound of saffron spice. who knew? I went to buy a bottle for a recipe I was making and the bottle cost $21. Needless to say, I went another route.
