Here is the Zaran saffron through Amazon. I made saffron rice for the first time, using a pinch, then second guessed the size of my pinch and added an extra half-pinch. Very nice, subtle, unmistakable flavor. Not sure if it’s a normal level of flavor or if my pinches were conservative. Definitely a treat to have a flavored rice. I’m looking for a saffron meat dish to make next.



Zaran 2g super negin $13.95 through Amazon.



Soaked in room temp water with lemon zest for about 30-45 minutes while I chopped and sautéed chicken and vegetables.



Stovetop lemon saffron rice. I always use my 1.5 cup rice cooker, but didn’t want to stink up the silicone ring gasket with the saffron fragrance forever.
