Saffron is derived from the dried stigmas of the saffron crocus and has a deep auburn colour and sweet flavour. The stigmas are handpicked and it takes 250,000 stigmas to make just half a kilogram saffron, which makes it an expensive ingredient. Fortunately, a little amount of Saffron goes a long way due to its unique flavour, natural colour and aroma. At Sahara UK Foods, we can guarantee to provide best quality Saffron in consumer, gift and bulk packaging.
