Organic Saffron Whole Stamens - Crocus sativus, 1 lb, (Mountain Rose Herbs)

Free Gift For Order Over $50. Check out our gift selection.

Saffron is known throughout the world as a precious, expensive spice, easily bringing $500 or more per pound. It is made from the stigma of a sterile crocus, the crocus sativa, which blooms in the autumn in areas with wet springs and hot dry summers. The expense of the spice is justified * it takes nearly 150 flowers to produce a single gram of dried saffron threads. Saffron is used in flavoring foods and medicinally, and is highly prized as a dye. It yields a deep, rich yellow that has given its mark to the robes of Tibetan monks, among others. Its medicinal uses include treatment of depression, epilepsy and menstrual disorders. 
 
Saffron has a well-deserved reputation as being the most expensive of herbs and spices, even when one considers that no more than a thread or two of the precious spice is needed to flavor an entire meal. Besides its culinary uses, though, saffron has a long history of medicinal use, both in Eastern and Western traditions. Seen as mostly a culinary herb for decades, the new interest in herbal remedies is bringing saffron's medicinal properties back into the limelight.  
 
The herb was mentioned in the Bible, and was used by ancient Greeks, Indians and Egyptians. Among its varied uses were to reduce fever, to regulate the menstrual cycle, to combat epilepsy and convulsions and to treat digestive disorders. Modern research is confirming the effectiveness of saffron as an antidepressant and an anticonvulsant. In some studies, it has proved as effective as fluozepan in treating depression. 
 
Also known as Crocus sativus, Crocus, Safran, and Azafran

SUGGESTED USAGE
Usually whole dried stamens in food, in tea and for food coloring purposes.
