SAFFRON

1 ounce of saffron = about 4 tablespoons

Saffron has a strong perfume and a bitter, honey-like taste. The taste is pleasantly spicy and bitter and the odor is tenacious.

Saffron is mainly used as a colorant and flavoring for cheeses, pastry, rice, and seafood dishes. Saffron is used in spice blends for paella, curry, kheer, and bouillabaisse.
